The coco Mongozo, with coconut milk and quinoa, as well as coconut aromas. Thick, creamy, moussy, snow white head, hazy light yellow colour. Coconut and coconut milk dominate the aroma completely, apart from a toilet soap kind of odour and some sourish graininess, which probably represents the quinoa. Very sugary taste, thin mouthfeel, very strong, sweet and bit sourish coconut taste, cloying in the finish. I found this even worse than that banana version, even if tasted from a half coconut shell, as it is apparently advertized.

Bottle from oriental supermarket in Bratislava. Hazy yellow color with huge white head. Strong aroma of coconut. Taste, sugar, tons of sugar, coconut. So far best from 3 Mongozo, but still bad.

Botella de 33 cl en el festival de cerveza de salinas en el momento el 26-07-2014. color amarillento traslucido con espuma blanca poco persistente. Un zumo de coco, dulce, ligero, fácil de beber y sin muchas mas complicaciones. Refrescante y para una tarde de calor.

Yikes. Hazy yellow. Smells like shampoo. Taste like a cocktail, but greasy with it. Not for me.

Bottled, 0.33l. Pours hazy straw color with tiny white head. Aroma of coconuts, milk, cereals and perfume. Taste starts with sweet coconut and malt, followed by light fruity and grainy sourness, while finished mild bitter. Medium body, sticky texture and flat carbonation in palate. You have to be nuts to really like it :)

Bottle thanks to Colin.... Gusher! It pours pale cloudy cream with no head. The nose is all about the sweet coconut, coconut butter and white sugar. The taste is sweet coconut, pineapple, pina colada, green banana and sugar with a sweetish finish. Lightish body and low carbonation. One-dimensional and pretty sweet. Very Pina Colada. Not actually as bad as I expected!

Bottle split at Bruce’s pad, from Beermerchants, 31/07/13. Gushtastic cleansing Paul and myself in beery coconut goodness. Hazed mute yellow, akin to stale dishwasher liquids, thin white head clears to edge. Nose is coconut shampoo, pina colada, sweet sugars, light tropical notes, parfumed furniture polish. Taste comprises coconuts, sugars, artificial flavours with the coconut/tropicals. Light to medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet sweet finale. Too sweet - it is what it is !

Bottle at Bruce’s - London. Thanks to Colin. A gusher! Pours hazy, pale white with a mild, filmy head. Smells like some kind of fruit juice, a bit of coconut. Medium sweet flavor, some oily coconut, a bit of lime, pineapple. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Tastes pretty much like a piña colada. Subtly artificial but not bad overall.

From a bottle. Murky pale yellow. Aroma of sun tan lotion. Sweet taste with coconut and cinnamon. Pretty disgusting.
