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.

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!

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Sickly, soapy head quickly recedes to mottle surface. Sour punch pineapple aromas. Soft and sweet with caramel and honey upfront turning to honeyed grapefruit and pineapple in the medium length finish.

Draft at Shades bar (Hilton Buena Vista Palace). Sweet malt candy up front, leading into a drier finish, where the pineapple is more noticeable. The pineapple is weird, kinda funky, not a good choice for the beer. More hipster crap from FB.

Bottle. A- Subtle pineapple, weak. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Pineapple juice, wheat, straw. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, refreshing finish. O- Pairs really well with pad thai no doubt. On it’s own I don’t know if I’d love it, but the spicy thai food really brings out the pineapple. Otherwise a bit bland.

12 oz. bottle thanks to jcwattsrugger. Mostly clear golden color, thin lasting head. Aroma is light grains and weak pineapple. Nothing more.
Flavor is the aroma. I guess in the hot Florida sun this works for a beach and BBQ brew. Very light body, honey grain and the lightest hint of pineapple. Borderline bland although no flaws.

Draft pour at Lost & Found. Poured a clear yellow color without much of a head at all to speak of. Aroma was light sweet fruit notes, some light tropical pineapple. Flavor was similar in that respect, light pineapple. Very subtle.
