So the coconut? Well that part I didn’t really materialize, which is a good thing. In fact, I would call the smell of the beer vaguely whiskey-esque. And it even has a whiskey style flavor. I’m guessing its the “toasted” part of the coconut. I’m hoping that it’s not a mistake, because despite being a bottled Kona beer (tap awesome…bottles, not so much), and despite the claim to be coconut flavored, I could see myself drinking more of these in the future.
