Cletus (6064) - Connecticut, USA - MAR 16, 2009
Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of caramel and vanilla. Tastes of caramel and vanilla. This tastes like a crappy pale lager someone dumped vanilla extract into.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - SEP 10, 2008
Bottle, 4%. Sweet caramelly and creamy vanilla aroma. Dark golden colour. Stable white head. The flavour is like pale lager with a bit of vanilla. There is no sweetness, only graininess.

SaintMatty (2855) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - JUL 19, 2008
500ml Bottle - Golden in colour with a small head. Vanilla aroma and a hint of honey in the aroma. The taste is fairly sweet with vanilla featuring along with some light honey notes. The vanilla is noticeable but not overwhelming. I think it could get a bit too much after more than one bottle though.

Tranquillity (1338) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - JAN 11, 2008
Shared with FatPhil, thanks! Very pale clear body, almost no head. Vanilla (duh!) a bit sour taste, maybe yogurt in the aroma. Long finish.

FatPhil (6216) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 8, 2008
500ml bottle. Light yellow, thin head. Clear vanilla and light malt aroma. Sweet vanilla, artificial accompaniament to light malt taste. Quite odd, not unpleasant. At least the vanilla quirk doesn’t become tedious.
