Dear Green, visited the Nyakizu Washing station in Southern Rwanda last year. The coffee has a super juicy acidity with notes of plum and brown sugar sweetness. It is paired perfectly with this malty, creamy, slightly sweet Pale ale. A good amount of Simcoe, Citra and Cascade added to pull it all together giving you a well-balanced Coffee IPA.

The Red Bourbon variety of Arabica coffee, grown at over 1750 MASL has been carefully selected for its seasonality and quality of flavour by Dear Green from the Nyakizu cooperative in Southern Rwanda.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep golden to amber. Big generous fluffy head. Nose - tonnes of pine. You really have to look for the coffee but a green bean thing becomes more dominant as it opens up. The hop fruit is possibly tropical rather than citrus. Taste - coffee to the fore. Creamy papaya and coffee continues, getting richer. Palate - creamy and medium bodied. rich, gritty texture. Amazingly balanced on the finish, despite the sweetness up front. Overall - this is a bit weird, but you know what? They've nailed it! Coffee in an IPA but neither side stepping down.

440ml can from Good Spirits. Cloudy orange with a moderate white head. Big citrus aroma, flavour is tangy orange with some coffee flavour coming through and a lovely bitter finish. Wasn't sure what to expect of this but it was rather splendid

Can picked up from Noble Hops Aberdeen. It pours hazy deep orange colour with a medium foamy off - white head. The aroma is ripe juicy orange fruits, mango, peach, marmalade, mango salsa, then some roast, coffee vibes and wood. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, orangey hops, peach, marmalade, nips of pine, decent hit of coffee throughout, roasted character, toasted nuts, some spice a just a touch of alcohol with lingering dry - bitter finish, which includes some roast. Medium body and moderate carbonation.
