Mar 25, 2007 Very nice vanilla cream ale altough it’s not my favorite variety. Mixes very well with the stout

Feb 18, 2007 Pint glass from a growler. Vanilla beers always end up tasting artificial to me. This one tasted flavorful and natural. Good and very drinkable.

Dec 16, 2006 I would’ve classified this as a spiced ale despite the name. ( Cream Ale does not means "tastes like Cream Soda"!) Still, I like it because I was a sucker for cream soda as a kid. It’s got a yellow body with a frothy gold head that laces nicely and it smells of vanilla beans. The taste is that of a flavored American wheat ale with an orange pip bitterness in the finish. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Nov 22, 2006 Had this one on draught at the brewpub. Light orange pour with a thin white head, great, sweet nose and vanilla character throughout. I don’t know, I think this is really drinkable...

Jul 22, 2006 I’m a cream ale fan and a fan of vanilla. As said in previuos reviews the vanilla extract over powers this lightly hopped cream ale. Unique, it just did not agree with my palate.

Feb 20, 2006 Vanilla extract and some powdered sugar aroma. Hazy orange body. Pale malt, bitter hop leaf and more vanilla extract in the falvor. Medium mouthfeel. A nice drink but nothing you’d want to do all night, the strong vanilla character gets old after a bit.

Feb 19, 2006 The beer pours to a bronzed copper body with a thin white head. The aroma is light. Vanilla and light grains. The flavor is nice and creamy and full of vanilla and sweet corn grains. The palate is creamy and medium bodied. Very easy drinking.

Feb 13, 2006 Tap at the brewpub: Very light in color with minimal haed. Definate vanilla on initial smell with a little spice on second sniff. Great vanilla taste with no real difference in the finish. A great sweet lighter beer!
