12 oz. can from Total Wine - Daytona Beach. Fitting. Pours a crystal clear dark gold color with a large off white head and great retention. Good lacing. As expected, it has a coconut and hops aroma. And the taste follows the nose. Coconut flavor first, with the hops in the finish. The two flavors kind of cancel each other out, so neither is dominant. Mellow bitterness for 55 IBU. Medium body. Lower than average carbonation. The mix kinda works. Certainly better than a regular IPA.

Not sure how you should label this pint, since it tastes nothing like an IPA or a coconut beer. Just kinda is. Mild caramel and orange notes are followed by a yeasty tartness and a complete lack of bitterness. Nothing here, folks.

On Tap at Payette. Clear medum light amber with a thin spotty head. Definately some coconut here but also some more toasted malts. Very mild and lightly hopped. Perhaps it has lost some of its IPA character.

12oz can from Payette. Dark amber with a small fine beige head. Aroma is sweet and coconut. Taste brings light coconut and some metallic notes , similar to one of their other offerings. Seemed promising before heading downhill.
