Poured from a 16oz can into a Willi glass. Thanks Brian for this can.

Pours an orange moderately hazy body with a frothy white head that leaves solid lacing.

Aromas are coconut-forward, suntan oil artificial coconut though, mixed with some vanilla and a dash of hops.

Taste is coconut dominant as well, with a lightly hoppy follow through and lightly bitter finish. Aftertaste is more coconut and vanilla extract that lingers for a bit. Lighter mouthfeel for an IPA.

Meh, I just don’t think coconut should be mixed with IPA. And it’s a little artificial tasting

 

Pours cloudy gold brown color with a thick foamy 2 finger white colored head that was packed with bubbles, dissipating very slowly and leaving good spotty lacing.

Smells of coconut, bamboo, flowers, potpourri and Samoas Girl Scout cookies. Flavor is much of the same but with more coconut like coconut oil, fruity notes and a Mounds bar. An IPA with coconut and vanilla seems like a good idea, but this is an epic fail.

Solidly opaque 5 ball orange with a thin, bubbly uneven white blanket, this exhibits tons of coconut paired with pine, grapefruit and orange cream. Tangy and crisp with a medium-full body, just after the semi-dry finish I'm feeling beach beer vibes possibly more than any surf's-up beer I've ever had.

 

 

Orange and hazy with a quicky fading head that leaves a band of lacing. Smells like fresh coconut vanilla and orange pineapple. Tastes sweet with coconut vanilla and pineapple with a little pithy bitter finish. Pretty tasty beer.

The beer pours a nice white and creamy head that dissipates very quickly. The beer itself is a cloudy orange that looks nice.

The smell is good. It has a pretty strong coconut note to it and a moderate vanilla note but not much hop to it.

The taste is a bit better than the smell. It still has the strong real coconut note that is supplemented by the creamier vanilla notes. The orange hop notes manage to come out in the finish but emerges more as it warms up.

The feel is interesting and good. It has a medium body and very creamy. The carbonation is light but biting.

Overall, this is definitely a very tropical beer even though it's coconut forward.
