Production & Heritage

Liquid Love Brewing Co. operates out of Buffalo Grove, a suburb northwest of Chicago in Illinois' thriving craft beer corridor. CocoBlu Kiss falls within the brewery's fruited sour ale program, a category that has become a signature of Midwestern craft brewing in recent years. The beer layers blueberry and coconut flavors into a sour ale base, finishing with a touch of vanilla — a combination designed to lean into the smoothie-style sour trend while keeping acidity in the foreground.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet berry character leads immediately, with ripe blueberry dominating the nose. A creamy coconut undertone rounds out the aromatics, giving the beer an almost tropical opening.

Taste: The first sip delivers sour blueberry up front — bright, tart, and direct. At mid-palate the coconut emerges, adding a rich, creamy texture that shifts the beer toward a lighter smoothie-style mouthfeel. Vanilla lingers quietly behind the fruit, adding depth without sweetness overload.

Finish: The finish swings sweet, balancing the initial tartness with residual berry and coconut. It fades at a moderate pace, leaving a clean but fruit-forward impression.

How to Drink CocoBlu Kiss

Pour cold into a tulip glass or wide-mouth stemless glass to open up the aromatic profile; the coconut and blueberry are more expressive at slightly above refrigerator temperature (around 42–46°F). CocoBlu Kiss is ready to drink as-is, but it also works as a base for beer cocktails: a Berliner Weisse–style preparation with a splash of elderflower syrup to accent the floral side of the blueberry; a Beer Mimosa topped with a small pour of sparkling wine for a brunch-ready riff; or a Blueberry Shandy mixed half-and-half with fresh lemonade on hot days to extend the tartness into a longer, lighter drink.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CocoBlu Kiss taste like? CocoBlu Kiss opens with bright, tart blueberry, transitions into creamy coconut at mid-palate, and finishes sweet with a subtle vanilla note. The mouthfeel is lighter and smoothie-like, making it approachable despite the sour ale base.

How does CocoBlu Kiss compare to other fruited sour ales? Compared to many smoothie-style sours that lean heavily on sweetness, CocoBlu Kiss keeps its sour character more prominent on entry before letting fruit and coconut take over. The 5.6% ABV is fairly standard for the style, keeping it sessionable without sacrificing flavor density.

Is CocoBlu Kiss good for beginners? Yes — its moderate ABV, approachable fruit profile, and creamy coconut finish make it an accessible entry point for drinkers new to fruited sour ales. The tartness is present but not aggressive.

Where is CocoBlu Kiss made? CocoBlu Kiss is brewed by Liquid Love Brewing Co. in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, located in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago within one of the Midwest's most active craft beer regions.

What foods pair well with CocoBlu Kiss? Blueberry scones and lemon-glazed pastries echo the beer's fruit and tartness. Grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa complement the tropical coconut notes. A mixed berry cheesecake mirrors the dessert-like qualities of the finish. Light salads with goat cheese and candied pecans work well against the sour acidity. Coconut shrimp offers a direct pairing that amplifies the beer's creamier elements.

What sizes does CocoBlu Kiss come in? CocoBlu Kiss is available in a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans, which is the standard retail format for this release.

Is CocoBlu Kiss worth the price? CocoBlu Kiss positions in the mid-range for craft fruited sour ales, where 4-packs of 16-ounce cans from independent breweries typically command a premium over macro-produced alternatives. For drinkers who value the coconut-blueberry-vanilla combination and a well-reviewed small-batch sour, it represents solid value within the category.

Why CocoBlu Kiss?

Fruited sour ales are one of the most crowded categories in American craft beer, which makes standing out a genuine challenge. CocoBlu Kiss earns attention by balancing its blueberry tartness against a creamy coconut body rather than burying the sour character under sweetness — a restraint that its 4.0/5.0 Untappd rating from over 160 reviews suggests resonates with drinkers. Brewed in Buffalo Grove by a small-footprint Illinois brewery, it carries the kind of regional identity that macro-produced fruit beers simply cannot replicate. For anyone exploring the smoothie-sour space or looking for a fruit-driven beer that still respects acidity, this four-pack delivers a focused, well-layered drinking experience.
