Served at the House of Hops US beer tasting, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a Clear yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is big vanilla biscuit. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a light, crisp, fresh, sweet sugary biscuit vanilla palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

4 oz. pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Pale yellow w/ring of head, no sparkle, light lacing. Aroma is strong vanilla cream. Taste is strong vanilla cream, mild milk chocolate-orange. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, fairly dry, crisp finish as taste. Now that’s a cream ale I can get behind. Good strength and balance and quite interesting.

Draft. A- Corn. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Corn, sweet, skittles. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Okay. The vanilla really sweetens it and almost gives it a candy corn like flavor. Not bad.

Pour is a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is vanilla. It reminds me of the icing you get on those store bought birthday cakes. Flavor is again vanilla but not as sweet as I thought it was going to be. Finish leaves a harsh dry grain on the tongue. Not that great and I defy anyone to have more than one of these in a sitting.
