Cask at The Whip Gallery, Vancouver; 12oz
Murky orange-blond color with small head. The aroma is delicate, fresh, fruity, with a light different touch, from the jalapeño. Soft mouthfeel, the carbonation is expectedly on the low side; moderate sweetness, enough fruits but not a specific pineapple presence, and light pepper flavor, also the pepper spiciness is very low; unfortunately it has too much yeast, creating some astringency, and that is not very pleasant.
I would chose a less yeasty beer, and try some more pineapple.

On cask at The Whip, pours a cloudy opaque yellowish orange with a small white head. Nose brings out a wonderful mix of jalapeno, dank citrus hops and a little pineapple. Flavour is also very well-balanced, with just the right amount of jalapeno and pineapple, finishing with citrusy resinous hops - maybe a touch of Belgian yeast in there too. A very nice version of the base beer. Very good.
