I should point out that it pours like a soda pop with a short head of white rising quickly and then fading immediately. In the mouth it's medium bodied and lightly dextrinous, and just gently crisp. Ahh, maybe a touch, but coconut rules the roost here. Or is that just the sweetness? There's no discernible lime to me. What I'm missing though is the margarita side.
