a little experiment

 "Exotic beer", it says right on the label.  I'd been told the coconut was good, but had never heard of the palm nut variety, so I decided to pick that one up.  Spread the experiences around a little.  According to the label, it's actually brewed by Dutch brewery Huyghe for the Belgian Mongozo.  The beer is slightly dark in color, but transparent, with a bubbly, resistant head.  There's just a slight hint of spicy odor from the glass, under a noticeable sweetness.  The taste is sweet at first, but develops into a sort of bitter-grassy flavor, just a little bit like horchata aftertaste.  It's a nice enough beer for sitting around on a sunny day, enjoying some relaxation, but as much as it has nothing distracting or unpleasant in the way of flavor, there's nothing especially unusual or interesting.  Just fine, but not amazing.
