Condensation is a possibility depending on temp/humidity. This would not smell like coolant however. I would bet you have a small leak that is only present when the system is under pressure. As the engine cools this can leave a small amount of coolant under the hose. This evaporates the next time the engine becomes warm. Look for signs of leakage around the hoses including signs of corrosion, coolant residue, etc.
