16 oz can from Total Wine, Las Vegas, NV. Pours a clear gold color with a small off-white head and fair retention. Zero lacing. Sweet vanilla aroma. Decent sweet initial vanilla cream flavor, but then it degrades into a slightly boozy malt liquor-like finish. Not grainy, like most cream ales. Surprisingly boozy for only 6.0% ABV. Medium body. Lower than expected carbonation. Not bitter. I was hoping for much better.

16oz can pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is sweet vanilla cream. Taste is more of the nice sweet vanilla cream and some grain.

Side by side short pour with the rum barrel vanilla. Clear, straight amber, static unmovable head. Smell is Nilla wafers, soft artificial vanilla, still inviting. Taste is melted down Nilla wafers & some cracker, pinch of vodka. Thin, ever slightly acidic, lacking froth, modest but noticable abv. Interesting from a nostalgic perspective.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has lots of vanilla and sweet grains with a touch of oak. Flavor has a straw and sweet grain combination with growing vanilla and a hint of oak.
