If bears are so dangerous, why are they friend shaped? We thought that this was the perfect name for a beer that is oh so friendly on the palate, but oh so dangerously delicious.
It is pretty obvious that the star of this beer is pineapple. However, it is also full of guava and mango juices, resulting in a liquid tropical trip. We do not use flavouring in our beers – not artificial or natural (there really is little difference between the two). Instead, we use real juice, puree, or a combination of both. Expensive? Yes, but well worth it for the final result.
As a wheat ale, this beer is light and refreshing with some natural citrus backbone. The tropical fruit juices give it a perfect harmony of tart yet sweet. Fruity on the nose and on the palate, with a faint bready wheat character underlying it all..

473ml can. Pours a hazy blonde with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, pineapple and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, pineapple, orange, mango and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and soft carbonation. Juicy, refreshing and went down easy in this 33°C heat after a 12hr shift at work.
