A- 16oz can into a mini pint shaped glass with a slightly cloudy golden yellow body and a layer of foam that dies down quick leaving just minimal bubbles at the edges.
S- Formidable coconut and strawberry are about tied with the hops and on the whole the beer seems like it will be somewhat sweet. General citrus and stone fruit notes from the hops but with warming coconut becomes beastly and takes over. Orange, grapefruit, peach and tangerine hints.
T- The coconut in the aroma was strong but oh boy is it beyond soap and lotion level on the taste buds. Pure coconut saturation once in a while opens up for the strawberry and then hops. Hops are secondary with citrus, tropical and stone fruit notes but nothing that really jumps out specifically. Moderately high sweetness but just. so. much. coconut.
MF- Slick and oily heavy bodied brew with a moderate level of carbonation. Texture is smooth and frothy and it all ends with an herbal bitterness.
Just too much coconut in the flavor. The hops and strawberry are nice and the coconut works with those flavors but it just takes over and brings the full coconut lotion effect to the taste buds.

16 oz. Can
BB: Dec?
Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow/orange color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, strawberries, coconut, mango, peach), nice little diesel like. The taste is pretty nice hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, coconut, peach, strawberries), pretty nice little diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty brew. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake! Nice to see it around here.

5 oz pour on tap. I can't help but try smoothie IPAs when I have the chance even though I rarely like them a ton. This one is actually quite good. Lots of strawberry and toasted coconut flavor, not too sweet, and a nice citrusy kiss from the hops.

Served in a Teku glass at the Decadent Brewery in Mamaroneck, NY.
A: Pours a hazy, dark golden color with a less than one finger, white head, decent retention, and limited lacing.
S: Aroma of strawberry with caramel in the background and coconut largely undetectable.
T: Semisweet. Palate essentially grapefruit pith with strawberry and coconut almost undetectable. Bitterness present in the background.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: Enjoyable as a dessert beer. Close, but not sure it achieves the desired effect.
