Our twist on a fan favorite, Tropicannon Pineapple is perfectly sweet and slightly tart. The unexpectedly bold tropical flavors of Tropicannon Pineapple will set you adrift in a tropical paradise.

Hazy gold pour. It smells of pineapple and some hop resin but mostly pineapple. The flavor is full of pineapple with acidic sweetness that transitions into moderate hops bitterness. Something about the latter isn’t as crisp or flavorful as I’d like. This is still pretty good but I much prefer the original tropicannon.

355ml can. Opalescent, dark orange, golden to amber colour with average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish malty and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of orange, orange peel, pineapple, mandarine, all with a minimally artificial touch. Taste is slightly dry, slightly artificial, bitter and tropical fruity hoppy, hints of mandarine, orange peel, pineapple, sugary, pale malty basis. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, dry palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Quite sweet and artificial - so-so.

Very hazy blonde and golden coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall pure white head. Amazing aroma of pure, fresh pineapple notes with a lot of hop bitterness here and a moderate/balanced dose of both soft malts and some bready yeast, with a dose of alcohol noticeable, but the scent really brings out the fresh pineapples - very nice. Medium-bodied; Very well-balanced malt and hop notes show nicely at first with a great bite of the fresh pineapple right behind that gives a lot of sweetness as well as bitterness, but the balance is struck almost perfectly. Aftertaste shows some of the bitterness from the alpha acids of the hops, but the fresh fruit and sweetness show a bit more, with the pineapple and even some softer mango and passionfruit notes coming through as well with a slight bit of tartness, but the fruits dominate in a great way. Overall, a very nice IPA that has real, fresh fruit flavours that works amazingly well, but the balance her between the malts, hops and sweetness is just right for the style, very nicely done, not by a hawaiian or californian brewery, but one from Baltimore - Kudos! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Giant in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 15-April-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 09-June-2021.
