12 ounce bottle into Sam Adams pint glass, best before 9/2016. Pours crystal clear golden orange color with a 1 finger foamy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big orange, vanilla, cream, honey, brown sugar, cola, mint, and herbal/woody earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of orange, vanilla, spice, and malt sweetness; with good strength. Taste of big orange, vanilla, cream, honey, brown sugar, cola, mint, and herbal/woody earthiness. Minimal spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of orange, vanilla, cream, honey, brown sugar, cola, mint, and herbal/woody earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, spice, and malt sweetness; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately creamy/slick mouthfeel that is nice. Zero alcohol warming as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very nice orange/vanilla cream ale. All around good robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, spice, and malt sweetness; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

12 ounce bottle. Clear orange amber, thin fizzy head. Aroma of vanilla, orange, herbal notes. The taste is orange, vanilla, herbal notes, bubblegum. Medium bodied.

Crisp amber and copper coloured body with some light toffee coloured head, about a centimetre tall. Aroma of nuts, earth, caramel, toffee and some subdued hops. Light-bodied; Strong nutty flavour at first that gives way to some sweetness from malt and toffee with caramel and some metal on the finish. Aftertaste is crisp and very malty with only a bit of grain noticeable, some light nuts and a lot f earthiness. Overall, a decent amber ale, but who really likes these anyway - still, not a bad beer...but not really worth drinking. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle from Happy Hour (free) on the roof of my hotel in Lower Manhattan on 28-May-2016.

Clear golden coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of light malt, some subdued sweetness from caramel, a touch of corn and a bit of yeast. Light-bodied; Strong grain flavours at first with the nuts, earth, light yeast and corn sweetness right behind. Aftertaste shows a little yeast, some robust grains and a bit of sweetness from honey at the tail end. Overall, a decent pils with some nice flavours, but a bit of harshness at the front to get past at the front end. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle during Happy Hour (free) at my hotel in Lower Manhattan, New York on 28-May-2016.

Pours deep gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Sour caramel aromas. Dry with caramel and dough upfront turning to resin in the lasting bitter finish.
