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 from tap at Borefts 2017. Hazy, golden amber with a white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish aroma of lemon, straw and some apricot. Slightly sweetish, moderately sour, fruity taste of apricot, lemon, peach and straw, followed by a short, moderately tart finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

On tap at Borefts Beer Festival, Friday 22nd September 2017. Pours orange gold with a white head that swiftly departs. Lovely stinging buzzy bite, tangy, tart and jolly nice. Not getting much coffee but I like it. A7 A4 T7 P5 Ov15 3.7
