Kayon mountain coffee, from the Guji zone in Ethiopia was specifically selected for this beer. With aromas of blueberry, apricot jam and papaya it blends perfectly with this big juicy IPA. We opted for a light roast and a cold brew infusion, to limit the roasted notes and max out the fruity elements.

Hazy orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a decent creamy sweetness blends well enough with a light and smooth coffee. Hops bring citric peel, slightly ripe orange and touches of pine and bitterness. Smooth semi dry finish leaves a mild bitter linger. Yeah - it's all right, pulls off the coffee element whilst delivering a decent dose of hops. Never sings though.

Can. Color: Slightly hazy amber, white head, Aroma: Hop, rye, fruity notes. Taste: Dense mouthfeel. Spicy rye, wheat, subtle notes of coffee and fruity notes of sweetish yellow fruit and blueberries. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Medium bitter and moderate to medium sweet. Very lightly sourish. Pretty strange combination of ingrediënts, but somehow it works out pretty well.

First rating of 2019 ... can at home from drinkstore.ie, 01/01/19. Hazed orange amber with a well presented cream cap. Nose is mellow coffee, orange pith, grapefruit, tropical fruit esters, light pine. Taste comprises coffe grinds, melon, orange pith, papaya, grass, toasted malts. Medium bodied, fine massaging carbonation, semi drying close spiked with gentle coffee grinds and juicy hop bitterness. Solid coffee infused DIPA ... well balanced and quaffable ... one of the best coffee hopsters I've encountered.

440ml can at home. Pours a deep amber, thin white head dissipates quickly. Nose is complex mix of spicy buffalo sauce, slight bit of espresso, hop cones. Flavour is hoppier than the aroma, some complex resin and hop flower flavours with the rye spiciness. Really an interesting mix.
