Pour Over Coffee IPA
The Old Bakery Beer Company

Pours a foggy brown similar to a watered-down cup of coffee. Head forms a finger in height and khaki in color, with modest retention. Aroma is light roast coffee layered over herbal and pine hops and biscuit malts. Coffee is at the forefront, but the whole thing feels a little muddled. Flavor profile showcases more hops than the aroma, with herbal, pine, and floral notes that mingle well with light roast, light body, and high acidic coffee. Mouth feel has a little harsh carbonation at the back with a smooth feel otherwise - like iced coffee. Overall, coffee is fair, but seems off when layered over the hops.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 16oz can.

Dark fossilized amber with a steady plume of rising bubbles. Sheets of sticky lacing and a lasting surface skim. Looks nice, with a slightly darker tone from the coffee.

Light roast coffee aroma, mellow but distinctive. Some graham cracker.

Coffee is mellow but flavorful, a light roast with a mild herbal hop bitterness in the background. Coffee and hop bitterness dovetails in the aftertaste. Mellow dry feel, pretty easy drinking. Overall it’s pretty balanced though not a lot of hop flavor. Worth a try if you like lighter coffee beers.

 

From a sixteen ounce can, this brew is a hazy, honey-colored liquid. The head is light and white. The aroma is full of light roast coffee...I get some sweetness and light toasted malt notes. The taste has more coffee in the sensation, with a medium hop herbal flavor in the mid-taste. Wonderful finish. This is a solidly good beer.
