    Ok, I can't seem to find a clear answer to this anywhere. In 2012 Fiftyfifty brewing released a coffee variation ONLY at their release party. What was the color of this wax? Also was that same beer distributed that year under a different wax?

    I believe the Coffee party-only wax was pink with some white swirls with sparkle. In 2013, a Java Coffee variant went into distribution. I can't say for certain if this was the exact blend that was given to party attendees, but it was definitely based on it. In distribution, the wax color for Java Coffee was light purple with sparkles.

    2012 was released only at the party and had a purple and white swirled wax. Only 118 bottles produced, I think.

    2012 Coffee Eclipse tan colored(coffee with cream) and purple drizzles. Every attendee got a bottle of it at release and there was about eight cases beyond that has been shared. In 2013 we did a full run of Java Eclipse(it will be properly named Coffee Eclipse for 2014). It was around 5000 bottles.
