Koffiedick

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with deliberate lacing. Carbonation appears well-integrated, producing a lively but not aggressive bead. The color sits at the lighter end of the IPA spectrum, reflecting the restrained roast character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent dried fruit and stone fruit notes from the Cascade hops, layered beneath roasted coffee and cocoa from the cascara addition. Subtle tropical undertones emerge alongside a clean, slightly sweet malt base. The overall impression is fruit-forward and approachable rather than aggressively hoppy or bitter.

◐ Taste

Fruity flavors dominate the palate—ripe citrus and tropical stone fruit are immediately apparent. Coffee and light roast character weave through the mid-palate without harshness, while Cascade hops provide a gentle herbal-citrus complexity. Bitterness remains measured and well-integrated, never sharp, allowing the fruit and roast to remain in the foreground.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering fruit and coffee notes fading gracefully over a few seconds. No harsh aftertaste; instead, a gentle coffee sweetness and tropical echo persist into the close.
