1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - not sure that I've ever had a coconut-flavoured Hefe before.

This beer pours a hazy, medium apricot yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent snow-capped peaks profile lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.

It smells of coconut water, gritty and grainy cereal malt, pink bubblegum, a slightly estery yeastiness, and some very faint earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, fading coconut notes, flabby-seeming yeast, simple syrup, some ephemeral earthy spice, and more rather understated floral, musty, and herbal hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite tame in its lackluster frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really existing here that might be a cause for concern. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and ghostly coconut essences presiding.

Overall - yeah, this is a serviceable enough version of the style, but the coconut needs to be amped up, and by more than a little bit. Otherwise, it comes across as pretty plain, if easy to throw back, when you stop thinking and/or writing about it, I guess.
