A true collaboration as well as another beer brewed in partnership with Has Bean, this is our showcase beer for Good Beer Hunting's Uppers & Downers Festival. Made with exclusively roasted for this beer, Kenyan beans from the Kiriga Estate, it is special. Soured using yoghurt cultures, this beer is a fruity number with sharp, preserved lemon aroma that has you wanting to pucker your lips. Undertones of green coffee beans add a good caffeinated buzz. Effervescent in the mouthfeel, you get sparks of tart, dark fruit flavours mingled with washed coffee acidity. Ribena is a descriptor of the coffee varietal; blackberry is a predominant flavour of the beer!

Sampled @ Borefts Beer Festival 2017, day 2. Hazy light orange color, small average sized white head. Heavy coffee aroma, light sourness and coffee blending together quite well in the flavor imo. Well made!

Thank you for sharing! Sampled draft @ Borefts 2017. Day 2. Wow another coffee sour. Hazy orange, creamy white. Nose is weird grainy vegetable coffee. Taste is low vinegar, milk chocolate, grainy, vegetable coffee, total mess. Body is lactic, grainy coffee, dash of vinegar. Real mess, totally not my thing.
