Funnel Cake Ale

◎ Appearance

Pours a bright golden yellow with excellent clarity and fine carbonation evident throughout. A modest white head forms quickly and holds with delicate lacing on the glass. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, befitting a sessionable golden ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent vanilla—a sweet, creamy character from Madagascar vanilla beans that dominates without becoming cloying. Beneath sits a gentle malt sweetness and subtle wheat grain, underpinned by a very light herbal hop presence that remains restrained and supportive.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with vanilla continuing as the primary flavor note alongside a soft, bready malt character from Maris Otter and malted wheat. The mid-palate remains balanced and light, with gentle sweetness and minimal bitterness; the 15 IBU provide definition without aggression. A refreshing, dry wheat quality keeps the palate from feeling heavy despite the vanilla infusion.

◑ Finish

Clean and fairly dry, with vanilla and a faint grain character lingering briefly. The finish is short to medium, allowing the beer to remain refreshing and drinkable rather than lingering heavily.
