Can. Hazy medium yellow with a white head. The aroma is sweet perfumy coconut; maybe something between a coconut smoothie and coconut shampoo. The flavor starts with the bitterness of a Pale Ale and the coconut vanilla thing comes back at the finish along with the bitterness. Kinda weird beer.

Can. This beer is difficult to tell the coconut in thar. Its a typical American pale ale. Not sure where the golden or blond comes in because it looks like a pale apa. Nice lacing with a very thin head. Yes, decent co2 and quite acceptable, perhaps it does fall under the old golden ale thing. But, still can’t feel the coconut, I wonder if its real coke nut or fake coke nut.

Pours a hazy amber from a can. Brother in law says its a drain pour, I just don't think it's anything special. Not picking up on any coconut. Not a very good beer.

Can. A- Subtle funk, A- Golden color, clear liquid, white head. T- Subtle coconut, slightly tart. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, O- I think this one was definitely infected. I’ve had a few good infused blondes lately. Coffee one, vanilla bean one, some good ones, but not this. Virtually no coconut and absolutely no caramel or vanilla. Slightly tart and funky too. Let down here.

12oz can pours a hazy yellow with some foamy, white head. Nose is straight sun tan lotion, coconut meat, Mounds bars. Flavor is the same, sweet, coconut meat, a little orange.

Can. Slightly hazy yellow color. Aroma of huge coconut and freshly cut hay. Taste is coconut and straw. The combo works, more or less.
