Didn't catch that I hadn't rated this after having it quite a few times a long while back. Poured a slightly murky orange color with a small white head. Aroma was cold brew coffee, some malt. Flavor was light bitterness, some nutty notes.

Crisp and clear ligth brown coloured body, all with a very thin, single centimetre tall, if that, pure just off-white head. Aroma of, you guessed it, coffee hulls with a cascara [coffee tea] like scent and a dose of cofee bean notes with nothing brewed and a dash of light herbal and subtly grassy hops noticeable as well, but no bitterness at all. Light to perhaps, Medium-bodied; Strong coffee flavours at first with a very dry and incredibly grassy, green-coffee like bite at first with some of the dull hull and cascara notes that show more of a nuance than anything purely intentional in terms of adding a large flavour profile. Aftertaste shows the dry grain and a touch of pure caster and caramelised sugars at the end. Overall, an enjoyable and fairly light beer that definitely shows a lot of coffee hulls, cascara [coffee tea] and a touch of actully brewed coffee with faint bitterness at the tail end. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 22-June-2019 for US$1,89 sampled at home in Washington on 08-September-2019.

Coffee and green pepper, mild apple-lemon fruitiness backed by slight caramel malt notes and coffee cherries. Finishes dry and bready, with a mild but lingering roasted java bitterness. Not bad, just a bit simple, like bland but inoffensive Dunkin coffee mixed with bland but inoffensive Harpoon Pale Ale. Which is exactly what this is, I guess.

12oz can pours a murky orange with a ring of white head. Nose has some blonde coffee, honey comb, honey roasted nuts. Flavor has all the same, light coffee, caramel, nuts, honey, black tea. Finishes lightly watery.

About as much a mess as you'd assume mixing coffee with a pale ale. Pale type pour. Lots of coffee. Some mash malt type aroma. Can.

Pours dark amber with a thick white head. Aroma of expresso. Taste has mild malt notes with heavy coffee influences. Palate has mild coffee notes layered with hop elements. Not bad.

Can sample at a tasting at Tom L's place. Thanks Stas. Hazy orange. Coffee beans, pretty green and vegetal, sweetish, malt, grains, bitter finish. Not my thing.

Moss, soil, grass aroma. Cloudy amber, medium yellow head. Moss, thyme, and orange peel. Medium body, easy carbonation. Not really my thing but I dig the innovation.
