Look: It pours golden and clear with a white head. It has good head retention.
Smell: It has aromas of banana and bubble gum. There are so low clove notes with dough.
Taste: It has a sweet taste up front with banana and coconut. There are some bubble gum and double elements. The clove is well into the background. There is also a touch of citrus in the finish.
Feel: The finish is on the sweet side as well. It has a medium body.
Overall, it has an interesting flavor combination for a here and is sweeter than I would expect, but has plenty of quality flavors.

From the pint can into a Gutmann Weizenbier glass, it pours a hazy amber color with a very nice white head that slowly reduces. The nose gets some coconut. The mouth follows with a pleasant bready flavor with fruit notes and some coconut. Overall medium bodied and pleasant feeling.

Notes via stream of consciousness: This is a hefeweizen brewed with toasted coconut! I would've never thought to do that myself. Anyway, it's poured a very hazy but not quite cloudy golden body beneath a short head of white foam. I can tell that it's got a fairly standard carbonation level, which is OK, but I usually expect a little more. I'm not smelling the coconut in the aroma - oh wait, there's a little. I'm not getting a lot of banana either but I can smell the wheat in the malt. It's OK but it's not great, so let's see if the flavor is better... and it is! It's actually much fuller in flavor than I thought it would be given the aroma. The banana from the yeast is there, as well as some clove and 'spiciness'. The coconut comes out at the swallow and in the finish. I'm also getting some pretty bright apple. It's got some acidity to it that dries it in the finish, but it's a little bit much for my tastes and I find it distracting. I feel it throws off the balance between the sweetness of the malt, the bitterness that's there, and the spiciness from the yeast. In the mouth it's medium bodied and crisp. I'll guess that this is around 2.5 volumes of CO2/liter whereas many hefeweizens are more in the 3-range, but that's a good thing because carbonation adds acidity and this certainly doesn't need any more. Of course the pH could be adjusted in the mash but it is what it is so I'm just going off of that. All told I was pretty psyched about the added coconut but the overall beer didn't live up to my expectations. That's not to say that it's bad but I do think it could be a whole lot better.

6 oz mini-snifter pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Pours a hazy buttercream color with a rocky off-white head. Aroma and flavor feature banana, wheat, bubblegum, and toasted coconut. I never thought about a coconut hefeweizen before, but it makes a lot of sense. A fun beer to try for sure.

A pretty nice interpretation of a German classic. Really nails the nose.

Can, no date (but likely pretty fresh):
Pours a straw yellow with a moderate to heavy wheat beer haze, but not as thick looking as many an Aslin IPA - body isn't too bad. Head builds up to a mdoerate level and leaves a few streaks of lacing, but doesn't maintain a full cap.
Nose out of the gate was coconut and banana - more of the former. That coconut also came with a little Malibu rum impression. After a few swigs, the alcohol aspect toned down, and a banana split with coconut and strawberries comes to mind, as the banana has taken the lead (though the coconut is still coming through well).
Taste starts with banana and is followed quickly by coconut. It's a bit sweeter than expected for a Hefe, though tasting it reinforced the "ice cream" aspect of the nose's banana split. The sweetness isn't cloying, and perhaps it is enhancing or aided by the coconut - generating a sweetened flaked coconut impression. Behind these up-front flavor is the wheat, with a nut/grain aspect and a slight sweet citrus aspect. The back end brings in a light nutty aspect again (raw almond, perhaps).
I am surprised that I liked how the coconut came in (even though I like coconut, I was unsure of the mix with a Hefeweizen. Not sure how the coconut will hold, and while the beer seems a little on the sweet side, it still seems to have a decent Hefe base in there.
