Jackie O’s Facts Machine

Another one from Jackie O’s.  I must get out to visit their brewery soon and enjoy their brews in person.  This is another hazy from this awesome brewery.  The beer has the usual rich, thick, hazy appearance you would expect.  What is totally unexpected is the flavor profile of this brew.  The beer has light coconut on the nose that intensifies on the palate.  The coconut begins as kind of a novel idea on the tongue but continues to grow and (for me) becomes a bit over-whelming.  I enjoy coconut and even use coconut oil to cook in.  So even with my enjoyment of coconut, this is a bit too much.  The mouth feel is creamy which I like, but it leaves a coconut “oil residue.”  I enjoyed my first few sips of this beer but after a while it became a bit much for me. Not horrible at all, but far from my favorite of their beers.
