12 oz. bottle thanks to fishmich. Bottle date 06/20/2014. Thick retention on top a hazy gold liquid. Aroma is rather interesting, fruity hops and coffee bean lingers in the air. The flavor is pretty much as it smells. Grain base body, coffee hints of chocolate and traces of vanilla. Coffee is the most dominate flavor and lingers a good while after the sip. Body is light with gritty/ grainy feel. Nice drink and different for sure.

Bottle. Golden body with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, toasted grain, bread. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Mocha taste reminiscent of coffee and cream, sugar. Enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to Will. Pours a clear orange with small frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is coffee bean, chocolate, and herb. Thin mouthfeel with sweet coffee and dark chocolate roast, easy to drink, very good.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear medium gold with a white head. Aroma is, frankly, coffee and freezer burn. Flavor is mostly of light creamy coffee. Not too complex, just features the coffee with no other real "beer" flavors. Pleasant, if not exciting.

This pours a medium gold with a +2 finger head of foam.

The nose is interesting...notes of chocolate and light coffee. Maybe? some bready malt aromas. Yes, I think so. Weird smell to this brew but I have to say, it’s inviting. The more I thought about it, the more I think it has kind of a brownie smell to it.

It has a very nice coffee flavour up front with more or less hints of chocolate. Not much hop bitterness that I can detect; all of the bitterness seems to be coming from the coffee. I’m digging it now that half the glass is gone.

Good mouthfeel and easy drinking, this would make for an excellent breakfast beer for those folks in Odd Sides’ distro area. 4.5% abv..you got the right idea!

12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but was released recently. Pours lightly hazy and cloudy golden amber color with a 2 finger foamy and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a lot of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big nutty coffee, vanilla, cream, light bread, floral, and light grass. Awesome aromas with big presence of coffee and malt sweetness; with good strength. Taste of big nutty coffee, cream, vanilla, bread, floral, and light grass. Light coffee bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of nutty coffee, vanilla, cream, light bread, grass, and floral earthiness on the finish for a bit. Awesome robustness of coffee/cream flavor with a fair amount of malt balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. High carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is great. Hardly any alcohol presence after the finish as expected for 4.5%. Overall this is an outstanding coffee blonde ale. Great robustness of authentic coffee/cream flavor; and extremely smooth and crisp to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

Tasted sample from a bottle. Wow, they aren’t kidding when they say "with coffee." It just tastes like coffee poured in a beer.

Wow. Hidden gem. Big coffee with a nice mild blonde

Sampled from the tap at the 15th annual MBGSF. Pours a hazy gold with a white head that dissipates quickly and completely. Aroma is full of a strong coffee note with only a hint of backing light grain note. Flavor works better with a light coffee note that works well with the light grain, grass and fruit notes.
