Antidote
Combustion Brewery & Taproom

I tried this beer at the brewery with both my wife's brothers as part of a four sample flight. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that did not leave much lace. The scent had bold coffee notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with coffee presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

32 ounce crowler, filled yesterday (7/1) with a best by date of 7/3 written on it. Antidote is Combustion's Stauf's coffee infused Wanderlust blonde ale. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a clear gold color with not quite a half inch off-white head that stayed around for a while. There's a small amount of lacing. I like the aroma a lot, it smells mostly like coffee, along with some grainy and roasted malt. Taste is similar to the aroma, coffee is the dominant flavor but there's also roasted, grainy and sweet malt noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's crisp and easy to drink with a moderate amount of carbonation. This is certainly worth picking up if you like coffee and/or coffee brews. Probably the best coffee blonde ale I've tried lately. I had some of this last weekend, and the crowler I picked up yesterday is just as good. Combustion has done a great job with their coffee infused beers (their Dark Black Past stout variant with coffee is awesome, and the coffee infused IPA was good too) so they're a must try if you ever stop in. $9 a crowler.
