Flavor starts with coconut, moves to creamy milk chocolate, cocoa, light coffee grounds. Good. Nice and thick in the mouth with a light carbonation that goes well with this brew.

Oh for fuck's sake Ratebeer. Not the first time a rating in progress just vanished. Fuck you Inbev... the whole downward spiral of the site began when joet fucked Inbev for a few bucks. That's crude, forgive me, but being a longterm faithful user of this site has become a chore. Anyway, back to the rating Ratebeer lost because I accidentally clicked somewhere. 16 ounce can thanks to hershiser2. Thanks! Have orange, can't remember the head but it was in the lost rating. Aroma of pale malt, pine, grapefruit, lime. Taste is lime, grapefruit, resin, tropical fruit, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, lingering bitterness. Nice beer.
