A clean, simple beer, kicked up a notch by infusing whole, lightly roasted coffee beans in the mix. Truly one of a kind.

I bought 1 can from the brewery 473ml at 5.1%.
Poured a 1finger head into glass the color hazy or foggy yellow good carbonation. You can smell the coffee beans in this beer
Not much of a lace as you drink it..
Overall an ok coffee blonde beer
So that's means this beer has caffeine in it .
Maybe
I guess it would make a good. Beer to drink in the morning.
Cheers.

473 mL can from the LCBO; best before May 3 2021 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a foggy, pale straw yellow colour, topped with one finger of soapy, foamy white head that recedes within five minutes or so. A few strands of lace have been flung about in its wake, with the eventual remnants including a filmy cap and tight collar; looks good enough to me. Very earthy on the nose, almost dirty, with plenty of coffee grounds coming through alongside minor notes of wheaty, doughy pale malts, herbal hops and canned peas.
Not bad - there's a green coffee note at the forefront, backed up by grainy, wheaty pale malts and bready, doughy sweetness. Coffee grounds remain prominent through the finish, briefly joined by some earthy, herbal hop bitterness, with more coffee lingering into the aftertaste. Light in body, with lively carbonation that imparts a crisp bite to the brew; a little refreshing, in spite of its lack of balance. I finished my glass quickly enough, but one was plenty for me, thanks.
Final Grade: 3.69, a B grade. While I do love coffee, and I generally enjoy blonde ales, Spirit Wolf has not convinced me that they're a naturally complementary pair of flavours. In this case, the coffee kind of ran roughshod over the base beer (Flywheel?), but without really developing itself enough to result in an interesting end product. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mind my glass, and I wouldn't discourage others from trying it, but this isn't really my thing,
