B. Nektar - Pineapple Coconut Express
Pineapple Coconut Express by B. Nektar is a pineapple mead with coconut added. It is part of B. Nektar's B Side Productions; a series of limited release experimental meads. It is 14% ABV and was available on tap and in 375mL bottles.
This is a nice, semi-sweet mead, which has some nice white wine characteristics. It has a medium dryness; nothing is overpowering, the honey, pineapple, or coconut. The pineapple is actually really well integrated here; there is a nice balance with the honey sweetness and the pineapple shines here. The coconut give a bit of a oiliness but doesn't add much to the taste. I personally pick up a bit of alcohol burn, a warming finish so to speak. However I get that any time coconut is added to a mead. I'm personally not a coconut fan. I often get a sweet soapy taste with coconut. This mead did not have that, let me assure you, it was a pleasant, very subtle coconut flavor that again was well balanced in this mead.
I respect the craftsmanship and restraint that went into making this experimental mead. I would say if you're a fan of tropical drinks or coconut, this is a very enjoyable mead for you.
