UPDATED: FEB 11, 2024 Picked up somewhere in ABQ, probably a grocery store. Pale gold with a light haze. The thin, frothy head is of modest duration. Grainy aroma with a touch of vanilla. Taste is bitter, finishing both metallic and with a light vanilla sweetness. Body to the light side of medium, easy-drinking, refreshing. The lingering vanilla is the highlight of an otherwise subpar outing.

UPDATED: APR 25, 2019 Can pours a clear bright pale golden color with a huge fluffy white head that lingers leaving lots of lace on glass. Aromas of grain, vanilla and vegetables. Tastes of corn, vanilla and grain. Light body, adequate carbonation, creamy mouthfeel and a watery finish. Super light and very easy to drink. Vanilla really comes thru as it warms up. Nice!

@GBBF - hazy dark blond beer; flowery aroma and light corny, shy notes of vanilla; low carbonation, thin-bodied, light sweet; aftertaste of vanilla and flowers, quite watery

Cask at GBBF '18, day 3, 09/08/18. Pale golden blonde with an off white cap. Nose is a little thin, breads, sweet malts, light vanilla essence. Taste comprises sweet malts, vanilla, bread pudding, grains. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Passable for the style but a bit of a nothing beer.

Cask at GBBF 2018. Vague creamy aroma. Hazy pale gold. Thin bubbly white head. Light bitter cream soda. Does what it says. Light bodied but slick. Flat. Dry. OK.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2018. It pours hazy golden with minimal head. The aroma is soft, sweet, American cream soda, grainy, straw and wet grass. The taste is dry, sweaty, grainy, grass, dull vanilla, chewy, tannin, American cream soda, wet dog and hay with a drying, grainy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty shit stuff.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Light haze on this yellowish gold beer, no head. Light dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin and slightly grainy malts, modest sweetness. Whisper of baby sick and insipid citrus. Dry finish. Not great.

On tap at brewery. Hazy orange golden body with soft soapy head. Mildly sweet aroma which favors the grain bill over the vanilla. Texture not as creamy as the style should be. Still a very mild drinkable ale.
