New Belgium Lips of Faith Coconut Curry Hefe Weizen. 8% ABV.
Highly clouded, bright golden hue, snow-white head starts big, slims down.
Aroma: Coconut hits it first, flush and fruity, with the spices creeping next. (Cinnamon, ginger, coriander, fenugreek, kaffir lime, cayenne pepper). It's a nice blend, all right, soft and fuzzy. Now, on to drink it…
Taste: Again, the coconut is king in the flavor, feeling plump on the palate, with just enough hefe weizen yeast character to keep it complex and intriguing. Banana flavor unfolds, also, with increasingly likable fruity tastes and textures. Hops are minor, spice builds, and alcohol is a low burn. I like this more and more and more.
This is the sort of beer that freaks people out when you call it by name, but damned if isn't delicious.
