【Impression】
Light to medium light, citric, lemony, red grape fruits, concord grape, lime, Madeline orange, high in acidity, a touch of light tangy-ness as matured red wine, bitter persimmon, shinny and bright, lime like freshness as a long lasting aftertaste.
Beautiful beans but rather small and rough surface.
Sightglass roast always leaves full of silver skin, chaff, which makes coffee flavor cloudy. There would be special technique to extract fine flavored coffee out of so called Scandinavian roasting beans, but I need more experience and blessings to figure out how. Some says silver skin creates an aspect of flavor, which could be true for the light-roast fans and supporters. In my opinion, coffee flavor could be more clear and more friendly if there are less chaff.
Talking about Scandinavian roasting, Ritual Coffee carries highly edgy ones, "accelerated" raw beans flavors. Sightglass is lighter roasting but not "Scandinavian" enough compared with Ritual. U.S. "specialty" coffee has benefit of a bigger capacity and higher capability roasting machines: however, this lighter roasting movements may be the back way to minimize the benefits since lighter roasting technique are developed for/with small-batch machines w/ limited land benefit.
