12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy gold color with an off white head and good retention. Scattered chains of lacing. Beer aroma. The vanilla flavor is most dominant, with some light coffee flavor in the background and finish. To me, it tastes like a cream ale without the grainy mouthfeel. Medium body and carbonation. No bitterness. Not bad, but would be better without the coffee, IMHO.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can, November 4, 2020 poured into a weizen glass. Hazy golden with big white head. Aroma is vanilla, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is vanilla, banana, and a little coffee.

Bottle from Franks. Clear golden. Wheat, bit of coffee, bit of vanilla, lots of biscuit malts, bit of caramel malts. Weird combination, poor overall.

Tap at Sidedoor. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Creamy white head. Big vanilla tone, very sweet and creamy. Hints of coffee underneath. Very much like a Cream Ale. Balanced, but still vanilla forward. A pinch too artificial to love. OK.

Bottle at home super market grab. Semi cloudy gold. Nose is light coffee and vanilla and egg whip. Tastes of vanilla, and egg, and coffee, pancake batter. Decent carbonation semi sweet finish. Interesting but one is enough.

Tap bowsers. Quite impressed with this beer from the start. It had a dull dough yeast aroma. Creamy head.Initial flavor us very clean fun brew sensation. Sizzly. Quite good commencement. Very tasty and yummy. Even has a tad of that mild soda pop feel to it. Easy going and fun, one of the better blonde ales Ive tasted. Good job harpy. Would easily buy again.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky golden-peach color with a medium sized foamy orange-white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faintly with a bit of yeast and citrus. The flavor was brewed coffee, vanilla, yeast and malt syrup. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a hazy burnt yellow to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated evenly. Messy lace runs about.
The aroma starts off with soft sweet vanilla, some nuts and a light grassiness.
The flavor leans sweet through the vanilla sweetness. Malty rich vanilla aftertaste with a semi-sticky malty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability, fairly smooth and clean around my tongue.
Overall, cold press coffee? Hmmmm....that seems missed. But for the most part, everything else seems nice. Good for what it is.
