IMPERIAL HAZY BROCONUT is a juicy twist on the classic Broconut! This Imperial New England version features Citra, Ekuanot, loads of fresh coconut, and our house New England IPA yeast! All the coconutty islands vibes of regular Broconut with a creamier and juicer body similar to our NEDIPAs!

Picked up a single from TW-Greenville, SC on 11-16-21 for $7.49. Canned 10-12-21; consumed 3-17-21. Cold stored since purchase.
Beer poured a hazy orange with an okay white head. Lots of yeast sediment came out at the end of the pour.
Nose is very nice, very coconut forward. Takes me back to Daytona Beach Spring Break 1981 LOL!
Taste is coconut forward adjunct over a large malt base. Orange and mango flavors combine nicely to present a very tropical IPA.
Mouthfeel is very light bodied and refreshing.
Overall a very good concept, just too much coconut added. Understand a lot of folks love coconut so i can see the brewers dilemma with how much adjunct to run with. Worth a try even at this age if it was refrigerated since brewing.

16 oz can, dated 10/12/21, into Ghost In The Machine Teku.
Less juicy than expected here, but still "hazy", with a creamy toothpaste head of 2 fingers that recedes to 1.
Holy coconuts. The nose has so many of them, I don't know what else to write. It's kinda air-fresherner-esque with slight cardboard (it's a month old, so maybe it's that), but also has traces of fresh shredded coconut too. Behind that you get some British Ale yeast and a hint of bready malt.
Flavor is beer first, coconut second, which is a good thing. Has a familiar SG base profile. Something on the weaker side IMO like Mixed Greens...or maybe the same as their Strawberry Upside Down Cake IPA, but instead of the strawberry, it's all coconut. Regardless, it's going down really fast despite its 8% ABV, probably the easiest drinking DIPA in recent memory. Traces of dusty pale malt and some new school funky hops like Sabro or Topaz. Possibly Equinox/Ekuanot. Semi-tropical vibes : waxing your surfboard, "Summer Days", getting a sun tan...that kinda stuff.
Feel is juicy and creamy like a milkshake though not as thick, and has a soft yet at times rocky carbonation that compliments the beer well. No alcohol heat to speak of.
Overall, a very delicious coconut IPA. You'd be hard pressed to find many beers with this much coconut coming through in a DIPA like this, so if that's your thing, this is your ticket. One can will do me, impressive as it is.
Better than original Broconut by a small margin.
