Very light color with not a lot of vanilla aroma (which I was expecting). Vanilla taste was very present but not heavy. Definately an abrupt finish.

Was excited to see this was on tap, as I was to be passing through town on my way to a family reunion. I’ve been wanting to try a beer with vanilla flavors, I think it could be quite good. Granted I always expected it to be a porter, but this wasn’t bad. It was a wheat beer, maybe krystal weizen with vanilla. The aroma was really of vanilla. It looks like a standard macro though, light golden straw with little to no head and some carbonation. The taste is intersting. It starts out with an almost macro like taste, metallic bitterness with a biting texture which quickly gives way to a strong vanilla flavor that ends abruptly. No tastes seemed mixed, one followed by another then over. Not the most complex in that regard.
