Put your feet in the sand with a beer in your hand. Our tropical and refreshing blonde ale is kissed with gnarly waves of juicy pineapple. A dose of floral, American hops and crisp pilsner malt makes this beer ideal for any sun-soaked day.

Can of beer that that when poured looks like lemonade. Smell is a little fruity, but not much. Taste does some pineapple in there but its not overwhelming, seems to be quite balanced. I don't like pineapple in a brew but this one seems to be OK. Smoother easier pineapple brew. Not bad. Also has a tad of hop bitterness on the finish.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 1/24/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of juicy pineapples, lemon, orange, grapefruit, citrus zest, peach, pear, melon, light pine, cracker, white bread dough, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of pineapple, citrus hops, fruity yeast, and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of juicy pineapples, lemon, orange, grapefruit, citrus zest, peach, pear, melon, light pine, cracker, white bread dough, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes pineapples, lemon, orange, grapefruit, citrus zest, peach, pear, melon, light pine, cracker, white bread dough, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, citrus hops, fruity yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, fairly crisp, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very nice fruited American blonde ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, citrus hops, fruity yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very well balanced between clean pils malts, pineapple, citrus hops, and fruity yeast. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Clear golden coloured body with a thinnish pure white head. Aroma of pale malt, light grass and a mellow dose of pineapple, but still noticeable throughout. Light-bodied; Strong pineapple flavour with a big dose of grain and a nice sweetness from the fruit and some caster sugar and ending with a lighter flavour of grain and some apples and pears. Aftertaste shows some pears, subdued grain and a dose of more medicinal hops, but the light malts, showing some biscuits and yeast along with a bunch of very easy-drinking, low alcohol and pungent pineapple and fruit notes make this easy to go down and very enjoyable. Overall, a nice and mellow beer with still a good amount of flavours and a nice smooth finish make this great in the heat of Florida, even in December! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Corner Store (Bait and Tackle) in West Palm Beach, Florida on 26-December-2017 for US$2,49 sampled in my hotel room here at the Walt Disney World [Dolphin] on 30-December-2017 after a nice day of chillier (but still good for the style) December weather!
