Advertised flavor Coconut & Açaí
- The Nose
- A distinctly sweet, confectionery-like aroma, remarkably reminiscent of Fini jelly beans. Not any particular flavour, but rather the unmistakable sugary fragrance of an entire assorted packet. A nostalgic introduction, though hardly one that suggests the promised coconut and açaí.
- The Palate
- An oddly ambiguous opening, with no particular flavour eager to introduce itself. The promised coconut and açaí are difficult to distinguish initially, leaving behind a rather confusing impression of generic sweetness.
- The Finish
- The coconut finally reveals itself, though in a distinctly artificial form. An unmistakable, almost candy-like coconut aftertaste accompanied by a sweetness intense enough to feel like an immediate sugar rush.
- The Verdict
- A peculiar tropical composition that seems unsure of its own identity. The opening lacks definition, while the coconut makes a rather dramatic late entrance. Certainly distinctive, though whether that's entirely a compliment remains debatable.
The liquid pours an unexpectedly vibrant turquoise-blue, a rather curious choice for a drink advertised as coconut and açaí. One might reasonably expect something considerably less reminiscent of a tropical cleaning solution.
