Another brew form Tracy!

A: Medium orange brown in color with quite a few chunks floating about.

S: Tropical fruits, grapefruit, and a light hint of espresso.

T: Grapefruit, citrus, and tropical fruits, very light toasted note, and a hint of rich espresso. Bitterness is certainly fairly aggressive, but melds well with the brew. Lingering earthy bitterness, with touches of bitter coffee.

M: Medium in body, with medium-low carbonation.

O: Overall a pretty interesting brew. The coffee is just enough to notice it, I'd be curious what a little more would do. Seems like if you go through the trouble of adding it, you might as well be able to pick it out a bit more. I don't think you need to hit people over the head with it, but I am curious to see how many people would know it's there if you didn't tell them.

EDIT: I actually had a second can of this, and the coffee is way more present in this one.

The IPA is extremely apparent, but where's the coffee? I would give this a 3.5 overall for just an IPA because it is solid for the style although a bit too hoppy. But there is no coffee anywhere to be found and I was really looking forward to it.

I really liked this. I had it on tap near the brewery and found it to be well-balanced.

Pours a lightly hazed golden orange with a thick, creamy head that settles to an attractive bubbly covering. Smells of fresh coffee beans, roasted nuts, and caramel...almost no discernible hop presence, but the coffee infusion is extremely well-done. Flavor is creamy iced coffee, pine resin, a touch of grapefruit, and espresso roastiness. The hop seems to blend seemlessly with the natural fruitiness of the beans, so I wouldn't call this "IPA" particularly hoppy. Medium-light bodied, decently crisp and bitter. Very enjoyable.
