Canned 1/16/26, drunk 2/14/26.
A quick burst of the commercial description-mentioned overripe pineapple, but it's quickly softened by heavily fruity yeast and rich, soft, honey-like malts. Sweet, ripe, ruby red grapefruit seems accurate, as well. Very low acidity, only coming from the pineapple character initially, then fully giving way to yeast and malt.
Super juicy, fruity, tropical, citrusy. Soft, sticky texture with plentiful malt, tending on the sweeter side, but there's a good, citrusy bitterness to combat it. With warming and breathing it actually seems to get more bitter, to the benefit of the beer. Really nice balance of malt and hop here and unlike a lot of their special IPAs, it has almost no twangy character. The overripe pineapple hinted at at first in the nose is nowhere to be found. Really creamy, succulent, rich, but not overdone stuff.
