Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 30A: coffee / 21A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L0436 (BBF 11/2021). AROMA: initial medium-high vegetal-like aroma, resembling peppers, followed by low notes similar to coffee and medium hops (citrus and ripe stone fruit). malt is neutral, medium-low in intensity and slightly sweet. APPEARANCE: deep gold color to light amber and clear. medium off-white head with average retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial medium vegetal notes (green peppers-like) that evolve into coffee-like (suggestion maybe?), medium-low hop with fresh-green, slight citrus (grapfruit) and floral character. medium-high to high bitterness with a semi-dry to dry and bitter finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium to meidum-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an odd combination from fruits (hop) and coffee that gives way to other sensations, not entirely associated with pure coffee.
