Reduced to clear at Waitrose, so bought it for the novelty factor. Slightly hazy orange pour with a small white head. Aroma is (somewhat artificial) coconut and sweet bread. Taste is weet citrus, sweet bread and (loads of) coconut. Not as bad as feared when reading the list of ingredients, but not breathtaking either.

First tried in Brussels in around 2005. Light yellow amber with small head. Nose of coconut milk and pina colada, reminds me of Malibu rum. Flavor is artificial and perfumey, sweet with an evaporating mouthfeel that leaves coconut coating the whole palate. Well it's slightly above drain pour but i would not buy another bottle on purpose.

very hazy pale yellow colour, large, dense, though not too stable white head; aroma and taste of coconut and sugar syrup; is it really a beer, or just a bad joke?

0.33 bottle in Budapest. Sweet aroma with strong coconut and fruity smell. Its taste was as expected, sweet and surprisingly pleasant. Weird combination, but I liked it, definitely worth trying once.

holy hell this is awful.
Ever lick suntan lotion off of someones back? The only thing memorable about this beer is they serve is in half a coconut.

Trübe hellgelbe Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Süßer, an Kokosnuss erinnernder Geruch. Geschmacklich ebenso Kokosnuss, schwach hopfig. Mittlere Süße mit mittlerer Bitterkeit, leichter Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

So lass auch diesen Kelch an mir vorüber gehen... Im Glas findet sich trübes Hellgelb wieder - teilweise mit sichtbaren Trübstoffen. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone macht dabei einen flaumigen und langlebigen Eindruck. Die Nase füllt sich mit künstlich süßlichem Kokosaroma. Der Antrunk kommt weichspritzig, aber unangenehm künstlich süßlich. Am Gaumen relativ ähnlich - einfach nur künstlich süß mit, naja... sagen wir kokosähnlichem Anklang. Wäre da schönes natürliches Kokosaroma, könnte dieses Bier sicherlich interessant sein - aber leider... Mundgefühl und Süffigkeit leiden unter dieser unterdurchschnittlichen Aromatik natürlich extrem. Der Nachtrunk ist vielleicht noch am versöhnlichsten, da dieser einen fruchtsaftähnlichen Ausklang hat. Etwas später wirkt sogar eine etwas bessere Kokosnote. Sorry, aber das reicht letztendlich nicht.

Taster at Mel's Craft Beers & Diner, Vienna, Austria. Aroma is weak, sugary. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is medium sweet, some still in the final. Final is average.
