Since “Willy” is so versatile and can be flavored with fruits and essences, we add a touch of vanilla extract to compliment the sweet nuttiness. Also good mixed with Captain Stout, a blend we call “The Captain and Vanil.”

Best by July 17th. Hazy orange, an " of foam. Vanilla, wheat, light citrus smell. Big vanilla taste, sweet notes from the vanilla and maybe honey. Really low level of bitterness. Nice use of vanilla, me thinks.

Bottle purchased at Greg & Jane’s. Cloudy gold with full lasting white head. Nose so sweet vanilla, wheat malt, and mildly bitter citrus peel.

The vanilla flavor comes across pretty strong in the finish. Yeah, it is what you would expect overall. Simple and straightforward, although a tad overly sweet.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head recedes to hug rim. Vanilla and wheat aromas. Dry with sweet vanilla and sourdough upfront turning to banana before returning to vanilla in the lasting finish.
