Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is cloudy orange-yellow with light sparkle, 2-finger width foamy white head with decent retention and minimal soapy lacing. Aroma is strong lemon citrus and some tropical fruit. Taste is vague citrus, late light pineapple, hint of herb. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft-to-average carbonation with late lively sting, crisp mix of sweet, bitter and light tart finish. Overall, flavors are somewhat muted and don't showcase the advertised pineapple and coconut. A rare miss.

Canned 10/16, drunk 12/2/18.
Moderately hazy, lemon meringue with some slightly deeper golden hues. White head atop is small and recedes to ring.
Strong fruit and bubble gum from the yeast with light pineapple blending well with the gentle, at this point, hops that show leafy green character and light pine and grapefruit. No coconut in the nose and it's pretty clean, for the most part. Maybe a touch of earth/dirt character but I think that comes out over time with most fruit additions. No alcohol, flaw or resin.
In the mouth it's soft, pretty well-attenuated with sticky sugars clinging to the palate on the finish. Light honey, spongecake and white bread with pineapple, very slight coconut and plentiful yeast-like fruit and bubble gum. Creamy and borderline thick with a milky character and very low bitterness from the hops, though they are notable, at least. Very slight pine, grapefruit, lemon and orange linger alongside strong yeast character, creamy/milky textures and light pineapple.
