Fung Shui -1st prize of the Giffard Challenge 2007 (from the Giffard website) Ingredients: 3cl Banane du Bresil (Giffard) 2cl Coconut liqueur (subbed Whaler’s Coconut Rum for Cocogif) 2cl Mangue Tropic (Giffard) 2cl 18% fat Cream Directions: Combine all ingredients to a shaker, shake until hands are chilled. Double strain Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg (my twist) Rating: C (I needs tweaking) Tasting Notes: Too freakin’ sweet - as expected since 3/4 ingredients are liqueurs. An interesting combo of a creamy coconut banana followed by a sweetened mango finish. Need to mellow out the sugar rush/alcohol aggressiveness 1 second into the sip. Very potent, buzzed 1/2way thru. Ideas: egg white housemade roasted coconut rum sub housemade mango cachaca for mango liqueur

Toasted Coconut Wit (Beermaster Series), 650ml, 5% ABV, (Aldergrove, BC) On the side of the label: “Toasted Coconut Wit is traditionally unfiltered, fresh, lightly spiced wheat ale infused with coconuts toasted to perfection in the oven of The Island Goddess!” My Rating: C- Why I might like it: Half crisp, goes down as a witbier with a bit of refreshing citrus in there. Who I recommend it to: N/A Where I got it: BC Liquor Store How much: $5, Oct/2011 Beer Tasting Notes: pours cloudy off-yellow white, quickly dissipated head, sliding lacing. Drank at 10C, very minor toasted flavour, almost non-existent coconut flavour. Somewhat sour aftertaste, with orange notes occupying the middle stanza. A little creamy, but somewhat disappointing thin body, hard rough bitter finish. Will not go another round.
