I have a quick sour with mango and toasted coconut in the keg right now. Has good flavor, but am having trouble getting this one carbonated. Wondering if the oils in the coconut flakes have anything with subduing carbonation. I know it could affect head retention, but don't know about carbonation. Also doesn't help that i severely undershot my carbing pressure Looked at the wrong style, and my beer fridge was warmer than the 40 degrees i calculated for. It sat a low carbing psi for a week before i got back from vacation and upped it about 10 psi. Been sitting at the current PSI for about 2 or 3 days now.
