Reviewed from notes.
On tap at McGillicuddy's, Five Corners location in Essex Junction, VT on 08/11/2019.
Appearance: opaque yellow haziness with a bar pour's kind of slim white head which once it dissipated no lace was to be found
Aroma: pineapple with coconut and pretty sweet all the way; some biscuity malts
Flavor: pretty much copies the aromas extremely sweet; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe leaning more towards the medium body part; some sessionability; pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: I think I liked it more as a "fruit beer"" which is what I saw it as.

Draught at the brewery, 9/12/18.
Soupy maize-yellow-golden. White head falling steadily to nothing.
Smells super pineappley and quite good on that account, with obvious real puree used and both good integration and attenuation. A bit of canned-like sweetness remains, however, but it adds a big juice character and works well for the "style". Very rich, honey-like malts with big biscuit notes. Not a ton of hops but not noticeably lacking, either. No alcohol or flaw.
In mouth it's very pineapple-forward, with big, juicy notes mixing slowly with the beer. A bit too much/too dominant, but it's hard to get too mad as it's quite enjoyable. Pine-orange hop notes balance it slightly though this is very much about the fruit, ester and lactose - not so much the hops. Pretty good stuff, with a great texture, carbonation and reasonably well-attenuated.

4 oz. sample at the brewery. Aroma and flavor has the pineapple right up front. In the back end of the sip coconut is found. The bitterness is low because after all, everyone is using lactose to sweeten up their IPA’s. It is really fruity and sweet. Hard to call it an IPA because it’s all pineapple and coconuts.
