Beer of the Week

The beer: Coconut Ube Blonde

Brewed by: Eastern Market Brewing Company, Detroit, Michigan

Description (from Untappd): "A little sweet, a little earthy, and bursting with umami, this blonde is the essence of deliciousness. Creamy notes of toasted coconut and mellow purple yam flavors from the ube blend for a party on your taste buds."

Would I buy it again? You don't often come across purple beers, but here we are. Of course, coconuts aren't purple, so despite the name, coconut is definitely not the main player in this beer. It's barely even noticeable, and if you told me there was no coconut in here, I'd believe you. The big taste here is the yams, and that's not really a good thing. It's almost starchy, this beer, which is not a texture or flavor I want in a beer. It's not an enjoyable beer, so despite the neat color, I would not buy this in the future.
