Sour India Pale Ale w/ Mango, Coconut & Lime.

Tuscany yellow color, with aromas of Keitt mango, citrus zest, and coconut-pineapple. Big coconut flavors upfront, balanced by mango and berry fruit punch, and approachable amount of zesty citrus. Mildly effervescent and 7.0%, ABV, D&F is a beer set for adventure.

Poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-milky yellowed woody to almost orange chill haze color to it. Slim white foamy head slid off almost immediately to leave a little bit of concave lace.
The aroma had a running "funk" through some mango, coconut, lime and a light touch of lemon adding in an even more subtle sour to tart character to it. Some light grassy hop notes further underneath.
The flavor leaned slightly towards a sweet to tart combination then opening up with some grassy to mango/coconut/lime character just before a mild aftertaste of malts , grassiness and candied orange follows in.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Good carbonation leading with some stickiness but quaint. Finishes semi-sour with some funk and grassiness while smooth silky malts blend very nicely.
Overall, I read that this is supposed to be one of those sour farmhouse IPA's - yes, I believe the brewer got that down correctly.

A: The beer is rather hazy yellow in color. It poured with a short layer of white bubbles covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of coconut are present in the nose along with hints of mangos.
T: Like the smell, the taste has a lot of flavors of coconut along with hints of mangos and lime. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is more tropical than it is IPA and has a lot of coconut flavors to it. It's not a bad selection if you are a big fan of coconuts.

I taste dry not juicy at al all. I don’t taste a lot of coconut but I do get a little bit of lime. OK of a beer but nothing special. Too many ingredients going on for this beer.
