Can from my local Natural Lawson. Looked pretty scary but still got a can. Poured golden, not much foam. So far so good. Aroma... basically just pineapple with maybe some very light malty notes. Basically sugar pineapple, pineapple syrup. Taste is same, just lots of pineapple. If I had it as a chu-hi, I might even think it]s not bad (although also with very low alcohol) but as a beer, its not really something that I could finish. Way too sweet pineapple juice.

Super clear golden coloured body with a small, two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of pure pineapple with a touch of alcohol and unfinished sugars and a dose of light caramel and rice, but very mild throughout. Light-bodied; Strong pineapple flavour at first with a good dose of malt and a touch of grain, but mostly sweet and very pineapple-y and fruity. Aftertaste is mild and very sweet with a lot of pineapple, some rice and a touch of malt. Overall, a decent beer, but a nice very pineapple-y beer with low alcohol and some smooth malty notes. I sampled this 33 cL can purchased from Jason’s Market Place at Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan for NT$33 on 24-July-2017 sampled on the streets of hot central Taipei in the Summertime on Taiwan on 25-July-2017.

Can split at Bespin, thanks to Dirty Danny the Smut peddler, 03/09/15. Pale yellow with a moderate white covering. Nose is sweet and sticky pineapple chunks, slightly sickly, candied sugars. Taste comprises more sweet pineapple, sugared pineapple cubes, sweet sweet sweet. Light in body, fine carbonation, sweet close. Pretty gross.

Bottle share at Mr Smith’s Stratoflat. Thanks to Dan for this boost, sugar boost that is. Clear champagne colour beer, small cream colour head. Palate is light with fine carbonation. Sweet soda pop fruits. I think it’s pineapple but with the sugar turned up to 11 it gets hard to tell. No wait there is a little pineapple cube sweets here. Light finish. This would be sweet even for a can of pop.

Can shared in London - thanks to Daniel. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a slight white cream head. Big sugary/artificial fruit aroma, some pineapple juice. Hugely sweet, a little syrupy, with sugary and fake pineapple. Light bodied with average carbonation. Saccharin finish, lightly medicinal, some lemon, more artificial pineapple. Not excellent.

Can thanks to Dan. It pours very light clear gold with a thick white head. The nose is very sweet, tinned pineapple, fruit syrup, sugar and very sweet pear. The taste is crazy sweet, oily, tinned pineapple, pear, corn syrup and graininess, with a short, sweet finish. Light body, fine carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. Pretty, pretty bad.

Bottle shared at THT. Pours pale golden with a white head. Aroma of nasty pineapple and cheesy feet. Flavour is heavy sweet and buttery. Light bodied with light carbonation. Awful.

Can @ Dean’s The Hague Tasting. We’ll come up with a name later. Clear pale yellow color, virtually no head. Smells just like pineapple juice. Tastes the same. Pretty nice drink actually, but not a beer by a long stretch.

Tap at Deano’s monthly tasting, September. Poured a clear light amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is big pineapple and a hint of caramel. The flavour is hugely sweet and that kinda destroys it really. It’s a fruit juice with alcohol. Didn’t like this at all.
