Cyclomorphosis is a zingy sour ale brewed with lemons and a good dash of Kaffa Roastery’s Kenya Tano Ndogo AA coffee. The coffee has been grown in Western Kenya, Kiambu, the neighboring province of Nairobi. Tano Ndogo is Swahili and means “small five”. The flavour is clear and balanced, acidity that of apples and the aftertaste has tannins. In nuances there are cranberries and vanilla. Our beans were roasted to right level by our friends at Kaffa Roastery.
Cyclomorphosis won crowd pleaser award at Kaffa Roatery Grand Prix festival.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Dry sourish aroma. Starts fruity sourish, some berry notes, some lemon, some grapes. Finish mild, dry and bitter. Okay.

Kettle sour flavoured with lemon and Kenyan coffee, thanks to Leopold for sharing the can! Off-white, thinnish and open, eventually disappearing head on a hazy apricot blonde beer with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of lemon flesh indeed, coffee only in a subtle ‘green’ coffee bean way, sour yoghurt, chalk, apple vinegar, salted cucumber slices, talcum, sourdough, unripe mandarin, green pear. Crisp sourness in the onset, starfruit-, gooseberry and raw rhubarb-ish but in a simple, straightforward, thoroughly lactic way, medium carbonation; white-bready and sourdoughy core with an aspect of raw gherkin or cucumber to it in the middle, with even a vague additional salty accent, evolving into a fruity-lactic sour, drying finish with the familiar Berliner Weisse mineral aspects of chalk and pumice. A whiff of green coffee beans lingers, but not actual coffee flavour is to be found – which may be a good thing in this case. Not really my cup of tea, but a solid postmodern ‘crafty’ sour for sure.

44cl can from Tanker online shop. Pours hazy golden to orange with a bubbly, short-lived, white head. Coffee and citrus in the aroma, somewhat strange combination. Sour, coffee and lemon, not quite my cup of tea, but interesting enough - and somewhat refreshing.

Many thanks to martjoobolut. Nice sour beginning. The lemon is smooth sour there, the coffee is in the back, moderate bitter and nice fruity. Nice and not too sour beer.
