Made using a secret blend of Lactobacilli, this beer is then fermented with 400kg of pineapple puree, providing a real tropical punch to complement the effervescent, sharp base beer. This is a hugely enjoyable fruity sour!

Draught @ tommyknocker. Poured clear golden color with a thick white head. Sourness, hint of sulphur, floral notes in aroma. Flavor has sourness, berry yoghurt, fruits. Apples in finish. Weird.

Keg at Mother Kellys BG, 26/09/17. Pale golden blonde with no head. Nose is pissy citric shreds, straw, on the turn pineapple chunks, grass, light stale bread notes. Taste comprises lemon drizzle, grains, damp straw, raw pineapple, sharp citric pissoi, green berry jizz. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow pucker. Ok sour ... not overly complex but gets the pineapple tang across well.

Keg at Casc, Aberdeen. It pours clear bright gold with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is musty, bready, cheesecake, biscuit, bit of barnyard, tangy tropical fruit and pineapple chunks. The taste is crisp, clean, bright, tart, great sour pineapple character, sour candy, warheads, sherbet, decent mouth - pucker and lactic aspect with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Bright and chuggable. Fun scooping sour.

(Keg at Black Door, 20170923) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sourness, sour milk and white bread. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, sourness, sweetness, tartness, white bread, sour milk and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, sour and bitter. A complex but nicely drinkable brew.

(thanks for sharing!) Sampled draft @ The Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. Day 1. Very pale golden. Nose is weird oily white grape must & pineapple. Taste is oddly sour white grape, acidic, peach, white grape & pineapple in the background. Basic acidic, decent, enjoyable.
