Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 20, 2020. Aroma is super coffee forward with light fruity esters and citrus notes. Some mango, pineapple, berry and orange with light dank, resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours a hazy, golden orange with a large, fairly thick, frothy, slightly off white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol spice. Moderate coffee notes with quite a bit of orange, mango and passion fruit. Moderate berry notes with a light dankness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. I was hesitant about how the coffee notes would work, but it actually integrates well with the coffee adding nice berry and citrus notes.
