A typical shandy with a very strong pineapple taste. Palate is relatively simple. Pours amber with a thin head, fruity aroma. Tastes good, might be hard to drink more than one at a time due to the overwhelming pineapple hints.

So, I had some pineapple beers & ciders in the past and some of them made me gag, so I'm not sure what 's gonna happen with this can. Has a mild pineapple aroma, somewhat like artificial candy. Look is like that of a cloudy hefe. Decent co2. Pineapple is very present in the taste, not as bad as other pineapple beers, but yet I find it a little averse. Interesting and fairly well balanced with fruit and you actually can tell there may be some beer in there. Not one of the best radlers around. Probably I just care for beer with pineapple in it. Funny, cause I really do like pineaples adn real pineapple juice.

Bottle, didn’t write down the date, drunk 6/30/17.
Light haze to this bright copper-orange body. Lemon-flecked, beige head is small and rapidly recedes.
Lemon-like acidity mixes with artificial pineapple notes and a little bit of iced tea sits on the finish. Some saccharine-like sweetness is present, as well....
Juicy and very sweet, with some acidity but not nearly enough to balance the artificial and overdone pineapple. Fizzy, insipid carbonation and a watery, saccharine-heavy texture leaves sugar and light lemon lingering amidst unpleasant "pineapple".

Bottle. A- Pineapple juice, Fanta soda. A- Yellow color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Pineapple juice, slightly beery, overripe pineapple. P- Light body, average texture, slightly fizzy carbonation, juicy finish. O- Not as good as I thought it could be. I was somewhat comparing it to Ace Pineapple Cider which rocks. Even somewhat beer like. Still not a big fan.

Sampled from a can this beer poured a murky yellow color with a large foamy white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet pineapple soda. The flavor was very sweet with strong pineapple, yeast and pepper. Long finish. Medium body. Pretty tasty.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 7/2017. Pours hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy pineapple, lemon, orange, melon, citrus peel, wheat, cracker, light honey/clove, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of pineapple/citrus fruit, light-moderate pale malt, and light fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy pineapple, lemon, orange, melon, citrus peel, wheat, cracker, light honey/clove, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of pineapple, lemon, orange, melon, citrus peel, wheat, cracker, light honey/clove, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pineapple/citrus fruit, light-moderate pale malt, and light fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitter/spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, fairly grainy/creamy, and slightly acidic mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.4%. Overall this is a great shandy style. All around great robustness and balance of pineapple/citrus fruit, light-moderate pale malt, and light fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and never watery feeling for the low ABV. A really delicious offering.
