Super hazy bright blonde and golden coloured body with a large six centimetre tall off-white head that fades pretty quickly. Aroma of bright bitter coffee, some noticeable resinous and piney hop notes and a little earthiness from the malt and high alpha acid hops. Medium-bodied; Assertive coffee flavour up front that shows some nice earthiness and a little brewed coffee flavour, but then the hops come through and show very nicely near the end with a big bitterness and a rich balance of bittered malt and coffee flavours and the pungency of the hops with a touch of alcohol noticeable. Aftertaste is rich, well-balanced and both hoppy and bittered from the earthiness of the coffee. Overall, an impressive coffee-based IPA that shows some brewed coffee flavours, but not overtly so and without the additional pungencies of most coffee beers - this one lays a nice line down of coffee without being overblown. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Beer Odalom in Budapest, Hungary on 24-March-2016 for HUF770 sampled at home on the other side of the Atlantic, in Washington on 13-September-2016. And if I could, I’d do it all over again, and bring this same bottle back in my suitcase, it was easily worth the space and the effort to bring it back.

Bottle, 330 ml at Csak a Jo Sor, Budapest. Pours orange with white head. Citrus, hoppy, orange, bit zesty, some caramel, light coffee notes. Lasting bitter finish. Wouldn’t mind more coffee.

Tasting at Zil Verne. Orange golden color with medium white head. Aroma of coffee, citrus, zest pines. Taste starts nicely hoppy with zest, pines, oranges, nicely overlapped with coffee. Interesting, tasty combination.

Bottle at a tasting. Only slightly coffeeish, which is good. Still a bit more than I would prefer in this particular beer. The coffee clashes with the hops IMO. Not a bad beer, just not very enjoyable for me.
