Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice, thinnish, very fast-dying pure white head that's gone before you know it and showing a slight ghostly gaze with the golden tint. Aroma of light coffee skins, ala cascara coffee tea with a hint of subdued biscuity and cereal malts and a touch of lemons and flowers with a caramel sweetness noticeable near the end, but the coffee and dry notes are stronger than the malts. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong dry herbal and coffee notes show through everything with a bit of the green beans on the edge that make the grassiness more pungent, but there is a slight dose of very lightly roasted brewed coffee as well with a slight citrusey component of central american grown coffee or some light hints of lemons. Aftertaste is fairly well-balanced, but very light and nuanced throughout with some cream and milky, lactosey notes near the end that give some easy-drinking finishes and robust characteristics atop the coffee and ever so mild chocolate notes with the malts and grassiness. Overall, a pretty nice, very restrained, easy-drinking, but full-of-flavour beer with a complete coffee profile but without any pungency or overwhelming nature that you typically get from a coffee-laced beer. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 26-August-2021 for US$3,29 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-November-2021.

Draft. A- Coffee, earthy. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Coffee. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- These coffee infused light beers seem to be popular in Nebraska. Not too bad, but it's what you would expect it to taste like.
