Blind Assessment
For such a relatively light roast, not particularly acidy. In fact, once past the classically rich, fragrant nose, rather flat. Perhaps the coffee arrived a bit stale. Full-bodied enough to please those who like to ride the classic American roast profile while relegating acidity to the back seat.
Notes
A classic American (light) roast profile though not particularly acidy.
Who Should Drink It
People who like supermarket coffee but can do without the flat, sour aftertaste. Best drip-brewed; the low acidity makes this one a good choice to drink black.
