First sip is - and I am not happy about this - pretty good. This is a cream ale, and that's what I'm getting. I don't know why I thought I was going to be getting something in the taste that was more beer-like (aside from the fact that it looks like beer and is from a beer-maker). This is definitely more woody than most, but it's pretty good.
Tip-in is more than expected carbonation burn with vanilla flowers floating on top of them. The middle spreads into a sweet maple-wood with a creamy almond milk and vanilla while the carbonation sizzles madly at the back of the throat. The finish is oaky and a bit sharp, and then the vanilla and the oak mix for the trail-off.
Bottom Line: Not a bad cream ale, even if it is from Kentucky (JK).
3.25/5
