330ml bottle - an IPA made with the Citra hop varietal and Nano Challa coffee from Ethiopia.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and chunky ecru head, which leaves some decent thick snow rime pattern lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.
It smells of earthy, dirty coffee beans, gritty and grainy pale malt, wet ash, muddled domestic citrus rind, and some tame leafy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery caramel malt, rich cafe-au-lait, a bit of earthy licorice, faint generic citrus peel, and more understated leafy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its lackadaisical-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess seeping in as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the java-tinged malt pretty much the only lingering game in town.
Overall - yeah, this one is much more about the coffee and malt than any Citra hop extravagance. Could be that it is approaching its best before date, but that's more on me for not paying better attention when purchasing it. At any rate, this is still a pleasant enough offering.
