Feb 28, 2009 The espresso is rather evident in the nose, overriding slighter notes of chocolate and lemon. Very novel flavor-almost earthy coffee grounds. A little sweetness and citrus as well. I’d love to experiment a little with food pairings.

Feb 28, 2009 Coffee grounds and chocolate nose with hints of citrus. Brown/orange color with foamy head, medium tan head. Coffee liquor, mint, and marzipan sweetness, subtle bitter bite. Big carbonation, full body, coffee candy finish. Very interesting....coffee is expressed in a very sweet way, not really a roasted fashion, worth trying and would pair well with the right dish.

Feb 20, 2009 Draught at City Beers, SF
Slightly hazy amber with a very brief head.
Loads of coffee(-grounds) and citrus in both aroma and flavour.
Pretty fizzy and slightly weird.

Feb 16, 2009 On tap at BJ’s, nice amber color and then a whiff of straight espresso. Amazingly one-dimensional in aroma, all espresso. The taste is complete espresso with a hint of citrus. The flavor and smell don’t match the appearance at all, this was a weird beer.
Serving type: on-tap

Feb 8, 2009 On tap at the Saucer in Houston. Pours a light, clear, brown into the glass with a thin white head. Aroma smells like fat tire served out of a coffee urn. Flavor really rubs me the wrong way. The coffee flavor I get from this beer tastes like a pot of coffee that you left sitting over a weekend and then tried to reheat. I love that a brewery of New Belgium’s size experiments with beers like this, but for me this one was a complete miss.

Feb 1, 2009 This beer is easy to drink, but the coffe flavor is a bit out-of-place, it doesn’t seem to fit with the beer.

Jan 31, 2009 Cool little coffee red type brew with a nice little bit of citrus in the back. I’m surprised I like this as much as I do. Pretty good.
