refreshing wheat beer great summer thrist quencher

12 oz can, canned 9/15/21. Pours murky dark yellow with a medium fizzy white head that goes to a light dusting.

The aroma is wheat malts, fruit and coconut.

The flavor is sweet fruity wheat malts with a lot of coconut. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, an interesting cocktail like wheat.

Notes via stream of consciousness: Well this sounds like an interesting one, brewed with coconut, apricot, and spice. I'm not sure about the apricot but let's give it a shot. It's poured a cloudy golden-orange body beneath a standard-sized head of dense white foam. The aroma clearly shows the apricot but I'm not getting much more. On to the taste then... the apricot remains the main note but the coconut is there, as well as a very light bit of spiciness that I can't quite make out. It does have a kind of sweet potato pie flavor to it though. Wheaty malt makes up the base, and it's sweetish but lightly so. There's not much bitterness to it, nor does there need to be as it remains balanced and mainly dry in the finish. I get the apricot upfront, the wheaty malt across the middle, and then the coconut and spice at the end. It's an interesting journey. I'm not sure where I stand on this right now but I have a feeling that it's one of those beers that can grow on you. I really have no idea when I'd want to drink this beer other than in the summer, but maybe that's just me. OK, back to the beer itself, it's medium bodied and crisp. I think it's nicely balanced and rounded, and although I thought it might be a little odd at first the apricot actually works great. The head dropped initially but kept a solid cap, and it's left some really nice lacing behind with creamy rings surrounded by tiny spots. It's obviously well made, and I also have to give them credit for a very creatinve and unique beer.

12 oz can dated 8-26-2021, poured into a tulip glass. Pours a hazy cream/yellow with a large off-white head. Aroma and flavor of wheat, coconut, and stone fruit. It's a refreshing summer beer and drinks lighter than 7% abv.
