Can. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly white head. Palate is airy, slightly thin and a little dry, decent fine carbonation. The pale malts bring a little creamy sweetness that sits well with the obvious but smooth cappuccino vibe. A decent marmalade and slightly bitter citrus peel hop delivery with a light piney touch rounds things off in to an airy semi dry finish. Comes together pretty well. This coffee infused hoppy beer thing was a brief fad some 10 years or more back. It's an interesting thing to do and works well enough when done right as it has been here.

Cask @ Kitty's, Helsinki. Poured pale golden in color. Almost flat. Aroma of herbs, grass and fruits. Cantaloupe and raw coffee beans in aroma. Interesting but not really my thing.

Rocky white head on a clear pale amber coloured body. Roasted coffee beans & white milky coffee aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a lively clean back. Cappuccino, tobacco, yeasty & malt tastes with a peppery berry finish. Unusual concept but works well.

Can. Thornbridge subscription box. Didn’t realise this was a re-brew. Medium gold. Nicely soppy white foam. Whiff of earthy coffee. Grassy privet leaf hoppage. Decent bitterness on top of creamy lactose sweetness. Surprisingly clean and drinkable. Bitter finish. Nice.
