A touch hazy, deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thin, barely single centimetre tall tan head that fades to just about nothing a few seconds later. Aroma of super strong and pungent fresh pineapple notes, mixed with a bit of canned pineapple juice, along with some malts, alcohol and dryness in the end. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich and strong pineapple and fresh fruit flavours show up at first, with some malt richness as well as an assertive, slightly astringent flavour that brings out the alcohol and even a slight herbal finish. Aftertaste shows the nice range that pineapple can bring to a beer, especially an IPA, as while it is a touch sweet, the dry, herbal, grassy and astringent qualities all shine through and some vanilla/lactose finally come through at the end. Overall, a nice and rich beer, with great pineapple flavours and sweetness, with a light bitterness from the hops, but more on the fruit and dry side of things, all with the pineapple, strongest of course. Great to sample, and as I love pineapple, a very nice option for those who do as well, who can find this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Fine Wines and Spirits (Store #004) in Orlando [Lake Buena Vista], Florida on 01-January-2021 for US$4,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 30-Januay-2021.
