Nicely crisp cream ale, wish there was more coconut but it's mostly on the back and aftertaste. Upfront is mostly honey malt. Get more refreshing notes than creamy which is unexpected.

16 oz can from Tavour. Medium golden , small head dissipates. Nutty, coconut aroma. Taste is mellow , light coconut, some tropical notes. Light sweetness, nice feel.

16 oz can from Tavour. Aroma is dough, vanilla, ginger, tomato juice (wtf), faint coconut. Pours mostly clear golden with a thin bone-white head that falls into a ring pretty quickly. Taste is lightly sweet with only the lightest hints of the culinary ingredients included. Faint heat from the ginger. Perfect mouthfeel. As a straightforward cream ale, this is way above average. As a culinary beer, it's a bit of a failure, I think. I like to be hit over the head with flavor when there are unique ingredients like these included. It does taste good, though, so I'm not going to dock it too much.
