(33 cl bottle at Café 3 Små Rum, Göteborg) Last bottle. Shady yellow color, fluffy white head. Very sweet, perfumy and coconut scent, also sweet cherries. Like chocolate coconut candy mixed with canned cherries. Sweet, cherry, coconut sugary taste. Medium mouthfeel, low bitterness. It’s OK for a few sips, but I had it poured at in the end. First time to drink beer froma coconut shell I think...

Super hazy golden coloured body with a dense white head - very nice! Aroma of super and I mean SUPER strong coconuts! Great sweet aroma, no mistaking this beer for anything else! Medium-bodied; Nice sweet flavour of caster sugar, light malt, a tiny bit of spice - but amazingly strong coconuts. Aftertaste clean and sweet - very nice, albeit one-sided - SWEET! Overall, a very nice, sweet, flavourful and of course, coconutty beer. One to sample here in Europe if you like fruit beers! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from BioMarkt in Amsterdam, Holland on 28-December-2007.

Bottle. Hazy sparkling light light yellow color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is coconuts, coconut and sweet coconuts. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average duration. Body is light, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (301007)

Bottled. Hazy white yellow color, medium white head. Aroma of coconut (kokosbrood), some pineapple, hint of yeast. Very sweet and slight sour taste, some pineapple again, and heavy sweet coconut. Strange stuff.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Very hazy, pale golden with a creamy, white head. Very distinct - extreme - coconut aroma. Rather thin body with very sweet coconut flavours - this is pretty much like Bounty in a bottle - or a soft drink or Malibu! 200507

From 33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a lacing head. Looks okay, that is the good thing about this one: Aroma is very artificial coconut and almond. Flavour is extremely sweet, coconut is clear in the finish. Flavour is more almond than coconut. Bad, bad, bad and bad.

Bottled. An unclear light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of coconuts - reminds me of a coconut sun tan lotion - OK on a sunny beach of Hawaii, but in my beer? The flavor is sweet and again with very strong notes of coconuts, combined with a light note of wheat giving it a slight acidity towards the end. More like a summer drink for the patio than a beer.

330ml bottle. Now we are talking serious beer here!!!!! This is for specially non-interest beer drinkers, or maybe just for the hardcore raters that just have to try everything. OK, I’m one of those – but this is not easy to do serious. It looks like a wit beer, milky and light orange body with a decent but short head. Aroma is like suntan oil you would expect to find on a 50 year old lady at Costa Brava beech (or maybe a 40 year old guy with mustache, gold chain and a two size to small tiny black bathing trunks.) Flavor is really sweet, concentrated coconut substance and just a faint hint of something acid. This is not drinkable at all.

Picked up a 330ml bottle of this one at Centra in Oslo. Awful hazy yellow body with white foam and some laceworks. Coconut aroma. Taste like sugar water with coconuts. Very, very sweet (16.03.2007).
