What Our Editors Thought

Sweet latte nose with dark chocolate undertones—cognitive dissonance with the light golden body. The sip loses direction, as the nose collapses into a jumbled wash of lightly bitter coffee with sticky citrus.

What Our Panel Thought

Cold-brewed coffee and vanilla hints in the aroma make you do a double take; notes of roast, green pepper, and mocha. The flavor extends the coffee depth, and there is enough malty and milk-like sweetness to balance the coffee's bitterness. Smooth but bitter finish.

What the Brewers Say

This full-bodied golden ale delivers a rich and creamy mouthfeel married with a bright and fruity coffee character.
