You'll be nuts to not shell out for this little cracker. Brewed with 50% oat malt, and torrified wheat for a smooth, silky body with a lightly roasted Peruvian coffee roasted by our neighbours, Neighbourhood Coffee in the whirlpool. We then added lots of Italian Pistachio paste in the fermenter.
Not suitable for people with nut allergies sadly, but totally suitable for vegans.

440ml can from Mitchell Wines Meadowhead - one where the description sold to me. Hazy orange body with a short lived white head. Sweetish nutty start, big hit of coffee, milky. Unusual to try and pair the taste with its appearance - stuff that tastes like this is dark.

Cask at The Dispensary, Liverpool. Pours opaque milky gold with white foam. Lots of coffee, with mild pistachio, creamy. Moderate sweet with lighter bitterness. Medium body with fine carbonation. Interesting stuff, white stout type vibes.

Can from Hoptimism. Appearance - murky yellow to orange. White head. Nose - green coffee bean and light citrus. Taste - more of the same. A bit in-between styles. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy texture, fairly sweet with just a touch of bitterness. Overall - so so!

Can. Pours hazy to murky golden with a thin white head, couple of yeasty lumps. Aromas of light coffee and nuts. Taste is more of the same. I think I'd rather have it without the additions, but it's ok.

440ml can from the brewery, drunk whilst cooking thai chicken. Aroma of light coffee with perhaps a little vanilla sweetness. Pistachio and coffee work nicely together, lovely creamy oat presence. Lactose hints though none was seemingly used. Interesting. Works well.

26/1/2020. Cask sample from Manchester Beer Festival courtesy of danlo and SHIG. Cheers! Pours clear pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is earthy, malty, slightly fruity, nutty pistachio and a hint of camp coffee. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite enjoyed this.
