Went to Windmill Farms for a sandwich and told myself I was going to casually look at beers and grab a few if it made sense. Well, I came back with a 4-pack of Barrel-Aged Ten Fidy and nine singles, including one of these. Was intrigued by this with the Coconut Hazy Double India Pale Ale. Thorn’s website called it “El Legend Coconut Hazy IIPA (8.5%).

Flavor profile: Bursting with tropical fruit flavors and aromas of coconut, passion fruit, mango, and peach, this hazy IIPA finishes bright and juicy.” A bit older than I’d want for a full review (66 days) but thought it would hold up at 8.5 pct.
Poured a light amber semi-hazy color with three fingers of white rocky head. Lots of bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled coconut, pineapple, Mosaic, mango, guava, apricot, mixed berry and passion fruit. Slightly better out of the can. (Smell - 3.75)
Taste was not quite as good as the nose. A little maltier than I thought it would be. In order got coconut, pineapple, Mosaic, mango, guava, apricot, peach, mixed berry and passion fruit. (Taste - 3.50)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average-to-soft carbonation. Long, tropical finish. (Feel - 4.25)
Very good but was hoping for more. Not as much coconut as advertised. (Overall - 3.75)
