Using our flagship ale as a base, we put an even more nostalgic twist on our style-defining brew; simulating your favorite childhood classic. The only difference? You don’t have to chase down the ice cream man. Cali Creamsicle features hints of vanilla and a distinct citrus cream flavor that finishes slightly sweeter than it’s Cream Ale counterpart. Just as refreshing, just as iconic.

This is one hell of a dirty name. 12 ounce can. Pours a clear golden yellow color with a medium white head. A big sweet toast nose. Vanilla, soft hay, big round sugary malt. This is a lot like a cheap pale lager, I don’t mean that as an insult, that’s just what it is. Super drinkable. OK.

Bottle to glass. Vanilla really dominates both the aroma and flavor. There is a nice fullness in the mouthfeel. Not much here except the vanilla.

22 oz bottle poured. Nice to see Mother Earth make their way to Seattle. I remember how much I used to seek out their beer, and now I can turn my attention to something else. Clear golden pour with a soap bubble head. Nice vanilla incense aroma. Flavor is odd to me. At least not what I expected. Nilla wafer, cookie like dominant. The vanilla is much stronger than I anticipated. Creamy for sure. Cream soda like for sure, but comes off as a bit cardboard like for some reason. Big time cereal like character. Overall, this cream ale is unique, which is already a lot more than others in the style can say. Not a lot less than good going on. I like it.

355ml can from Beers of Europe. Fairly clear pale golden colour with a small white head, slightly unfiltered appearance. Sweet aroma of delicious vanilla ice cream, malt. Taste is sweet, creamy, it really is almost like a cream soda as they describe it - like drinking melted vanilla ice cream with alcohol in it, and being beer-like... somehow it just works really well. Really smooth mouthfeel too. I love it.

Can from the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - like vanilla ice cream or buttermilk even. Taste - more of the same. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - I’d written off this whole style but this is the first one I’ve enjoyed.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a glass. Hazy deep golden with small white head. Aroma is cream, medium creamy body, lower carbonation, and thin good small-bubble lacing. Taste is cream and Pilsner malt. Quite good really.

Out of a can. Slightly hazy golden. Thick dense white head. Light pale malt aromas and flavors. Significant vanilla spice and rather firm body. A little noble hop for balance.
