Pours a cloudy, maize color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Slight retention and poor lacing. Smells of strong coffee, sweet malt, slight pale malt, hint of hop, and slight grass. Fits the style of a Cream Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of strong coffee, slight pale malt, slight sweet malt, hint of hop, and slight grass. Overall, weak appearance, and body and aroma are all coffee and almost nothing else.

I guess this is like a cream ale with a dose of coffee.
L - Pours a golden amber body with a one finger off white head.
S - Big coffee bean on the nose. Not much else.
T - Mild sweet base beer with loads of coffee bean. Some bitterness. Just not pleasing to my palette, and I usually can appreciate all styles. After a while it's a toss up between a coffee bean ale crossed with a some upchuck.
F - Light bodied and medium carbonation. Thin and watery body.
O - I can usually see a lot of redeeming qualities in beer, just not with this beer.
