A - Looks good, with a fine golden body, slightly hazy, but with a white wisp head, and a bit of lacing.
S - Nothing much more than sour grain, a bit of malt, sweetness and caramel, and a mild acidity hinting at roasted coffee, but well back.
T - Follows the nose, with sweetness and grains in the open, coffee coming forward in the middle, and a hint of roast and bitterness in the close. Very quiet, all told.
M - Clean, crisp, drinkable. Nothing wrong here.
O - Other than some of the sourness in the nose, the main problem is this is not particularly interesting. The coffee is there, but it is dialed way back to the base beer. And the base beer, while fine as far as it goes, is not terribly interesting.

Had from a bottle. You can definitely taste the coffee, but it is not overpowering. Great taste that grows on you. I would certainly buy this again.

Coffee is there and tastes decent, but at the end of the day the blonde ale base ruins everything as blonde ales are generally icky.
