    $100 bucks worth of secondary ingredients added for a 5 gallon batch?

    Please... stop being dramatic.. Is he dry hopping it with gold flakes?

    I'd skip this one. A fair IPA with just a hint of coconut. Really,save your money for something better.

    Nice IPA but with a name like Coconut IPA.. You sort of expect some coconut...

    Not out here just yet. Just got Texas label approval. Should be rolling in any time now.

    Welcome to Austin, by the way.

    An IPA that is just loaded with coconut flavor would work so well I think. Sad to hear reviews of this being a subtle taste. Oh well, I'll be buying a bottle tonight to try anyway!

    Probably tasting the homebrew version, as his description is spot on for that. Not so much the beer that was just released.

    Had in bottle tonight, then on draft in Northern Virginia. From first sip to last, I was smiling. Loved it. And I am a picky mother f**ker

    Yeah, I'd like to know what the fuck the people were drinking when they claimed this had coconut in it?

    This beer is more a milk stout than it is a coconut beer.

    In typical Stone fashion, a great IPA but the coconut was super-subtle.
    Would have liked a bit more... I'm still a Stone junkie, however!

    I love Stone, but I'm disappointed drinking this right now. Like so many others, I was looking forward to a significant coconut flavor. Unfortunately, I don't taste any coconut at all.
