Opaque, pale. Nice citrusy hop with a bit of mango. Soft pale malt, moderate bitterness. Stone fruit in the finish. Decent.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full head. Aromas of nutty chocolate, thin black coffee and roasted malts. Flavor of same with additional postage stamp. Coffee beers need to be bolder and on a bigger base IMHO.

16oz shared with Alex @ Alouette Campground on Day 5 during the lunch in the middle of packing.
Aroma: fruity, flowery, a bit earthy.
Taste: juicy, some sweetness, full-bodied, has some weird flowery aftertaste.
Overall: it's better than Wave Pool, but still just not bad.
