Vanilla Vape Tricks

Tap to rate

Cherry leads the way, fruity and mild rather than sharp, with a light tartness that keeps it easy to sip. Cherries and vanilla go into this sour ale, though drinkers often find the cherry louder than the vanilla, so expect more fruit than cream. A relaxed sour from Prairie, with nothing harsh about it.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Vanilla Vape Tricks

◎ Appearance

Pale straw to light gold in color, reflecting the beer's delicate character and low kilning. The body is clear with bright visual clarity, allowing light to pass through unobstructed. A fine, wispy head forms initially but settles quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass as carbonation is restrained.

◌ Aroma

The overall impression is fruity and inviting, with the tartness present as a gentle undercurrent rather than an aggressive forward element.

◐ Taste

Cherry leads on the palate with ripe, dark-fruit character that sits comfortably between sweet and tart. Vanilla follows through the mid-palate, lending a smooth, creamy texture that softens any sharp edges from the fermentation. The acid present is integrated and gentle, creating a refreshing quality that makes this sour eminently drinkable rather than challenging.
