Damn that's a lot of coconut from when I remembered it last. Banana coconuts galore and burps.

Pours unlcear blonde, decent white head. Smell is banana, intense, creamy, wheat. Taste is full, tad bitter, banana and cloves both are strong. smooth, intense wheat character, yet less sweet ( and less sticky, even if originally just a bit ) than the german counterparts. On the other hand, that makes this one easy drinkable and refreshing, which is great during the Miami weathers.
