Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a hazy golden color with a medium sized foamy yellow white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was tart lemon, grapefruit and pepper. The flavor was sweet and moderately bitter with lemon, grapefruit, pineapple and a hint of coconut. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied.

In der Nase merkt man deutlich die Kokosnuss. Im Trunk ebenso dominant, dazu aber schöne Zitrusnoten. Süffig, hohe Drinkability. Hinten trocken. Sehr lecker.

Keg at CBC Covborn, 25/04/18. Almost clear golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is pungeunt tropical fruits, pithy citric flesh, straw, mango, floral notes. Taste comprises ripe tropicana, sweet licks, pineapple, papaya, orange pith, nectarine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with sticky hop bitterness on show. Ok stuff but overly sweet for my liking ... needs more bitter balance.

Coconut is strong, as is the milk flavor, but I'm high and find it delightful.

Hazy deep straw and golden coloured body with a slightly soapy pure white head, about one to two centimetres tall. Aroma of very tropical fruits with coconuts and pineapple noticeable along with some guava, papaya and even some cream scents are noticeable towards the end - all with a touch of hops evident as well and a good deal of alcohol. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong pineapple and coconut flavours at first that show more of a mixed drink than a beer or an IPA with a good deal of hop bitterness showing some citrus and tropical fruit flavours and ending with a touch of alcohol and malts toward the end. Aftertaste is very refreshing with the tropical fruits and cream with a touch of the bitterness showing through at the end and a little bit of alcohol showing at the end that makes this slightly less refreshing, yet full of flavours throughout. Overall, an interesting concept and while I like Pina Coladas a lot, this only came across as a decent beer - one that fascinated me in the store, but the execution wasn't as flawless as I could have imagined - but it was good and worth trying. I sampled this pint-sized can purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 05-May-2018 for US$3,79 sampled in my hotel in Orlando, Florida on 07-May-2018.
