A really good can of nitro cold brew.
You can tell these are quality, Colombian beans that would be suitable for a good pourover or Kyoto drip at a good coffee shop. And organic/direct-trade to boot.
I would take a little bit more creaminess/nitro in a cold brew. But this is smooth and balanced with a bright citrus/blackberry acidity. For a specialty coffee drinker, it's miles better than the usual supermarket cans.
Definitely looking forward to trying more from Slingshot!Cupping Method:I paid $3.49 for it at Concord Market, in Concord, MA and drank it 2 days later.

Clean and crisp, this canned cold brew drinks more like a traditional iced coffee than an espresso. It has a light body, with no real complexity and no single flavor note that stands out. Still, it is very refreshing and definitely checks the chuggable box.
The best way to describe it is like high quality spring water mixed with a strong chocolate forward Central American batch brew from a good cafe. It does not impress with complexity, but it satisfies as an easy drinker.Cupping Method:I picked this up at Sprouts Organic Market in Studio City, Los Angeles. Interesting to see a NC brand make it all the way out here.
