Coffee Cream Ale from Rocket Republic was served in a clear glass coffee mug. It is a very clear gold with an off-white film which quickly transformed into a ring, which stuck around. No lacing, really.

Smell reminds me of the International Coffee varieties I used to have in college. I have fond memories associated with that, so I gave the Smell a 4 because of it. Removing the nostalgia being kicked up in my mind, I might have gone with a 3 instead. It all depends on if you find the cream and vanilla flavors of a International Coffee French Vanilla to be too cloying or fine.

Taste is nearly identical to the smell other than a bit of bread/yeast which comes into notice after the first rush of other flavors.

I have never had a cream ale with coffee added. This was a very interesting beer for me to try out. The contrast of the light color and the coffee traits kept toying with my mind.
