On tap at Huss, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out heaps of coconut upfront, followed by a touch of lactose. Flavour follows through, with heaps of coconut dominating everything, with a touch of lactose and coffee. Lovely coconut character. Very nice.

On tap at Papago, pours an opaque orange amber with a small white head. Aroma and flavour brings out sweet candied sugar, Belgian yeast and harsh alcohol. Messy and rather harsh; not at all an ale of refinement or complexity. Meh.

On tap at Papago, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, some residual sugars, and caramel malt. Flavour is big on the resinous hops upfront, followed by caramely bready malt. Sweet and sticky. Decently constructed.

On cask at Real, Wild & Woody Beer Festival, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light cherries, some floral notes and soft wheaty notes. Flavour is along the same lines, being very weak, with light cherry and not much else. Muted flavour profile, with not much going on. Pretty lame.

Shaker pint draft at the brewpub in Scottsdale, Arizona. The pour is black brown with a 1/2 inch light khaki head. The aroma is toasted coconut, sweet vanilla and faint roast. The taste sweet vanilla, coconut and a touch of coffee (and cream) sweet finish. The palate is light to medium bodied with soft carbonation and a sweet finish. Solid for what it is - a sweet coconut stout.

Draught at Papago, 12/28/15.
Clear bronze with a small white head showing medium retention.
Good hop aromatics here, with light biscuity malt notes behind it. Tangerine, pear, apple, orange rind and a touch of pine. No alcohol or flaw.
Bitter, again, as most of the IPAs out here seem to be. Arizona seems to be doing great things with experimental adjunct beers, but they are certainly lagging behind in the IPA department. Most of them still have the heavy hop-stewed bitterness that seems to be a thing of the past. Not a ton of juiciness or tropical character here, but that being said, it’s in good condition and well-attenuated. Huss brewing seems to be doing a good, clean job with their (and Papago’s) beers.

Draught at Papago, 12/28/15.
Very clear honey-colored beer has an immediately receding white head.
Vanilla and strong, but not offensive, orange character in the nose. Sort of candy corn-like. There’s some wheat and other cereal character behind it that somewhat saves the beer, adding a bit of beer character.
Flavor is full of orange and vanilla sweetness. It’s not syrupy or cloying, but a bit artificial and somewhat dominant. Heavily watery texture could certainly stand to have a bit more depth and the carbonation needs to be tightened up, especially considering this is a wheat beer. No real flaws, though.

Tap @ Papagos. Pours deep clear black, small beige head, some lacing. Aroma is roasty, cocoa, ashtray. Flavor - there is the coconut! Light plus sweet, light bitter, coconut, mounds bars, roasted malts. Medium light body, perhaps a tad watery but otherwise pretty darn solid. Tasty addition. Kind of Last Snow light.
