Golden Coffee Pale

In new world Craft Brewing, adding coffee to beer has become a trend in recent time. Most often stouts, porters, and other dark styles of beers are infused with coffee, and even more popular is to have Imperial versions of these beers. The idea has been to play off the roasty and powerful notes of each beverage.

pFriem has taken a different approach and collaborated with our friends at Coava Coffee. Coava is known for using beautiful, fruit forward, and bright beans. We decided to compliment these flavors by making a golden beer with fruity and citrus hops to compliment the coffee flavors. The result is a very drinkable, bright, aromatic beer that combines these wonderful flavors.

About the coffee:

The Othaya Farmers Cooperative has gained notoriety for many of the coffees they produce. The Karuthi Factory is one of many in the cooperative that produces outstanding and exceptionally unique lots. The red volcanic soils of this region, along with cool temperatures and slow cherry maturation, contribute to a distinctly wonderful flavor profile.

Taste notes: Complex, multi-layered, spice-toned. Coconut, blackberry, ginger blossom, wild honey, dark chocolate in aroma and cup. The structure is sweet, tart and savory in balance with juicy, bright acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The long, resonant finish centers around berry and coconut, supported by ginger blossom and chocolate. An abundant, high-toned Kenya cup with berry and tropical fruit notes, spicy florals and deep chocolate.
