Bottle. Brown in color with a small head. Taste like coffee but weak coffee and it didn't have any pale ale taste.

Bottle. Coffee, milk caramel malt, and hay aroma. Hazy amber with moderate light tan head. Mildly sweet coffee, caramel malt, and moderately bitter hay/coffee ground flavor. Nice body and balance - good coffee flavor.

Surprising, because I really didn't like the previous coffee pale ale I've had before (Sierra Nevada) and I was afraid this one would be bad too. I don't love it, but it was definitely drinkable. Still, not sure I'd go out of my way to seek out more beers like this. Lightly hoppy. Creamy iced-coffee like flavors, blend with lightly sweet malts. Brownish cream-soda like color.

Bottle from the mixed 12 pack from Market Basket. Mostly clear deep golden with a bubbly off white head that persists. Rich coffee and caramel on the nose, bready malt with a mild coffee flavor. Not too shabby

12 oz bottle from the fall variety pack. Aroma is nutty, caramel, coffee. Pours hazy amber with a one finger off-white head that collapses into a ring after a minute. Taste is sweet with a light bitter edge; finishes dry. Flavors of nutty coffee, herbal hops. Perfect mouthfeel. Seems like it's pretty well crafted to me. Even a huge brewery like Boston Beer can still make quality product. This is proof.

12 ounce bottle, 9/12/18. Copper with a very slight haze. Large foamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of strong coffee, caramel. Taste is coffee, toast, and a hint of hops. Medium bodied.

Bottle, a little darker than a pale ale. Smell is a bit metallic. Taste is a little bitter and its overwhelming coffee, just a little too much coffee. So much so, I'm not sure if there is even any beer in here at all. Finish has a tad of pepper in there.
