New Belgium Lips of Faith Coconut Curry Hefeweizen
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Coconut Curry Hefeweizen has been pouring down the history of American Home Brewing for many years, from the legendary Charlie Papazian to the 2010 National Homebrewer, Remi Bonnart. The latter helped New Belgium brew this hazy, straw-colored gem to life. The aroma is bold and big with coconut and curry tones and a hint of banana from the hefe yeast. With a vast spice list of cinnamon, coriander, fenugreek, ginger, kaffir lime, and cayenne pepper this beer carries a bit of heat but the alcohol soothes the finish. Coconut Curry Hefe will leave an inquisitive smile on the drinker’s mug.

Somewhat syrupy fragrance crossed with hops. The flavor is coconut followed quickly by a strong hit of yellow curry with a slightly bitter, savory finish. I feel like the flavors are fighting and I thought the hefe was an unpleasant base.
Slight funky smell initially but curry smell develops pretty strongly shortly afterwards. Solid coconut taste-- the good type. Though I would find drinking a bottle easier without the curry bite as it has an accumulative effect so gets distracting.
