12 oz. bottle sent for review. There is definitely a pineapple bouquet as soon as I pop the cap. It pours out a bright yellow-orange, with an impressive, puffy head. Despite the American hop load, this is NOT an overly hoppy beer. Instead, pineapple is quite the first thing that comes in on the palate. It is a simple, light summer beer, with a pineapple taste that could easily come from a certain hop mix, but instead comes from pineapple.

Pours a hazy medium gold color with a white head and very good retention. Very good lacing. Piney hops aroma. Flavor dominated by pine and grapefruit hops bitterness, as expected. One dimensional. 7.2 ABV is well hidden.

Bottle shared in Hackney - cheers Fergus. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Not bad, pleasant citrus fruits, melon, tangerine, mild rindy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Mild piney hops to finish, more tangerine, citrus rind. Very drinkable.
