Pours golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma of Kölsch and Pilsen malt. Taste has grassy malt, floral hints, dry honey. Palate has light honey on the nose, fantastic malt. Great beer.

Can at Pennsport. Amber with a ruby hue, small creamy head. Faint fruity aroma. Taste adds a layer of caramel malts under the fruity flavors, currants. Salt only slightly evident, mostly at the finish. Refreshing

A deep roasty stout malt nose to it. You can catch a bit of coconut on the edge of the nose. A clumpy brown head over a dark brown body. Okay, I can catch the coconut in the taste, too. It's not overdone, which is good for me who never cared for coconut. It does kind of swerve attention away from the coffee in the beer, but that's my own opinion.

12 oz can from 6-pack sent by Sierra Nevada. Has a nice zesty Kölsch nose, unlike a lot of blander summertime beers that claim the style. Bright yellow beer, a foamy head. Taste is sharp, a little tart, with the spice of a wheat beer, and a citrus note. Even a bit of kraut taste that works all right with this. Not catching the floral and honey aromas they claim, but it's definitely all right as a light beer.

Canned August 19th.
It pours a really dark brown with another monster head of foam. Off white going on tannish.
It smells kinda artificial to me. Okay, coconut water must different attributes than a beer brewed with coconut. I have to take deep whiffs to get any of the coffee.
There's definitely some added coffee in the taste. The coconut is much more sublime. Could be a good thing.
Mouthfeel is pretty good.
Interesting but not interesting enough to have again.

Can bought at Liquor Shed. August 14th canning. I know.
Pours a clear straw gold with lots of foam and lots of bubble action.
The smell is of floral hops, lemon like, light sweetness.
I do seem to get some honey sweetness, the floral hops in the smell don't translate all that well in the taste. It's kinda earthy, it does finish on a more bitter side.
At 3.5%abv, I expected the body to be thin and that's what I got.
Not worthy of a repurchase but it is not horrible.

12 oz. can, sent by Sierra Nevada for review. Currant gives it an interesting, to say the least, pinkish tinge. Under a pinkish-white foamy head. A bit of salt in the nose gives it a little electrolyte water nose. Not much else I can detect. Taste kind of hits with a bit of fruit juice tartness, but it's not what I'd call sour. Because there's a juice and malt sweetness still at work, plus some hops that I couldn't begin to suggest. It's regular strength beer, so I wouldn't see slamming one during a beer mile. But a pretty good refresher. Crafted to remove gluten.
