Ring King Pineapple IPA

Quite hazy golden and orange coloured boy with a thinnish, single centimetre tall, just off-white head. Aroma of grass, pineapple, juice, oranges, flowers and a bunch of grapefruit - very nice and quite strong in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very strong fresh pineapple flavour shows at first with a nice bitterness and a good hit of flowers, with some grapefruit and orange citrus fruits as well along with a dry maltiness towards the end with a pleasant level of sweetness as well. Aftertastse shows a great blend of fresh pineapple, crisp grapferuit and oranges and a nice layering of alpha acids from the hops that supply the bitterness with an almost perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, a very nice and well-structured beer with a good hit of pineapple and does the name proud with some clean hops and a good layer of malt as well. Great to sample and well worth trying to find, especially if you are like me and really enjoy pineapple. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-September-2020 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-December-2020.

Can from The Packie Pours a lightly hazy yellow gold with a thin bubbly white head that slowly dissipates. Earthy spicy grassy with plenty of pineapple against a lightly sweet bready maltiness and a touch of diacetyl. Its a litte spicy and bitter in the finish. I honestly was wishing for a bit of cherry flavor for a bit of a sweet and sour thing.
