Super hazy golden and light straw coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall pure white head that fades pretty quickly, but leaves a light lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of strong yeast, wheat, curacao and a dash of bubble gum and only a touch of pineapple here, but a lot of sweetness noticeable, in the nose, at least. Medium-bodied; Strong pineapple, wheat and especially sweet notes with a lot of richness from the grain somehow here, but the honey and caster sugar flavours get a lot of sweetness and bring it forward with the fruits with a lot of curacao notes towards the end and some notes from the yeast strain here. Aftertaste shows a pretty rich pineapple and wheat note fro the style with a lot of malts, but a good deal of balance from the fruits and the sugars all ending with a good softer, clean bite from the wheat. Overall, a nice, fairly sweet (for the style, especially) beer that has some relatively fresh pineapple notes, but the wheat richness and especially yeastie finish brings out a nice level of flavours to this that are probably nice in Wisconsin Summers, but perhaps a bit too rich for the hot summers down South here that would be a bit too cloying for the season; however, in January when the weather is still 70degF somehow, this works! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Hy-Vee [grocery] in Madison, Wisconsin on 08-August-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 03-January-2023 when the [winter] Weather was way too hot for the day!
