Canned 9/4/18.
L: Pours completely murky in appearance, total opacity. A bright yellow in color with little head formation. However, lacing is left on the glass as the content diminish. I had to stop pouring about 3/4 of the way due to heavy amounts of sediment on the bottom.
S: Definite tartness on the nose, with small hints of citrus. I am picking up a little bit on the nutmeg spice, but it is very minimal, as is coconut.
T: A whole lotta coconut. Its raw and natural tasting. Present initially and in the aftertaste. The orange is also apparent but I am not able to single out pineapple. Lactose sweetness apparent at the finish but is outbid by lingering citrus notes. As I drink more of it, booze is slightly noticeable on the tail end as well.
F: Medium in body and in weight. Carbonation is moderate, leaning more towards moderate. Nice full mouthfeel.
O: For what it is, I am enjoying it. I love the abundance of coconut, but I don't think this beer needs to be 10%ABV. I am glad to have tried. Cheers!

This was a really fun ale to drink. This kettle sour was a lot more tart than previous ASB offerings, which in turn made it better. The sweet adjuncts really popped, I did get coconut and vanilla, bit of nutmeg, and a lot of orange.
