Pours the color of apricot juice. Nose is coconut. Taste is initially key lime pie and then the coconut rears it's head in the followthrough. Very good sour

Good head production and retention. Body is fairly hazy.

Shockingly sweet on the nose, with coconut and kiwi prominent, along with notes reminiscent of pineapple and cream.

Similarly very sweet on the palate, with a nice mild touch of sourness. Coconut, pineapple, lime, kiwi, brown sugar. An extremely tasty but very sweet light sour. Much thicker than the low ABV would suggest.

Not bad but not good, not saying I'm a Parish fanboy but this is literally the "yellow lifesaver" of their beers lmao

Deceptively great, essentially is a oiƱa colada sour. Great coconut and lime balance. Mildly tart but not acidic. Crisp and so refreshing, lighter bodied, goes down fast and easy.

I like the can artwork, great use of color. The pour looks similar to limeade. The taste is sour & tarty lime upfront mixed in with some kiwi, & the coconut lingers towards the finish. This is a great summertime beer that kind of reminds me of the key lime pie dessert. Parish Brewing is becoming one of my favorite Louisiana breweries. Oh well, at least now I can say that I've had a beer that was made with coconut, lime, & kiwi. Cheers! A-

16 fl oz pull-tab can nabbed at a beer store in New Orleans, LA and served into an oversized snifter. Canned 05/28/20.

"Coconut, Kiwi, Lime Berliner Style Beer." 5.6% ABV.

Not the best amongst Parish's rather strong Berliner weisse lineup, but nevertheless quite good. Boasts ample coconut and lime, though there's a bit of artificiality to the fruity flavours unfortunately, and I doubt I'd find Kiwi if I tried this in a blind tasting.

Smooth, wet, well-carbonated, refreshing. Not too sour...maybe a 3-4/10 in terms of sourness intensity. Bacterial without tasting dirty or off.

A highly drinkable beer just in time for the Louisiana Summer heat, but not a top tier Berliner weisse, and it does rely on fruit as a crutch...there wouldn't be much here for discerning drinkers without the fruit, so comparisons to traditional expressions of the style may be unfavorable.

High B- / WORTHY

06/29/20 can:

Soft, coating, coconut-forward...just delicious. Yes, it tastes a bit artificial but it's very well balanced and I can't stop drinking it. Solid work from Parish.

Pours a very cloudy golden color with a thick foamy head. Head retention and lacing are both very good. Tart aroma with lime Taste is smooth with lime and a burst of coconut. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
