Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 23.03.15. Muddy, pale brown. Aroma of fresh and bitter coffee, green apples and tropical fruits. Similar taste. Surprisingly good drinkability. Quite carbonated.

On tap at Café Sara, Oslo. Hazy amber with a small and creamy off-white head. Fruity aroma with peaches, mild notes of citrus, pine and caramel with hints of herbs and coffee. Moderate to medium sweet with nice fruity flavours and a hint of coffee. Balanced bitterness in the finish and mild and short bitter aftertaste.

Fra flaske på Mandag i annen, des-14: mørk til ipa å være (sikkert pga kaffen) og med fint hvitt filmskum som varer. Kjenner mer av de amerikanske humlene enn kaffen, og er ikke sikker på om jeg synes kombinasjonen fungerer. En følelse av tynn, "grønn" kaffe i smaksbildet. Må prøves på nytt, og da en hel flaske. Nytt forsøk på M2 mars-15: brunlig farge med offwhite skum. God og mild kaffearoma med tydelig humlebalanse. Myk smak og munnfølelse for en såpass sterk ipa. Både god og interessant. Opp fra 3.1 til 3.5

Very hazy amber - brown beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, dry and crispy. Light earthy coffee starts things off. Underneath is mildly spicy pine hops rapidly followed by mellow tropical fruits. Nicely joined up. Pretty drinkable.
