Started on Ratebeer in 2002. Never a huge ticker but have become more interested in trying smaller sample sizes of more beers lately. Current tasting group meets bi-monthly: tfontana, Airforcehops (CLW) and Chalumeaux, occasionally with AdamChandler and Jow. If you're ever in the MA/NH area, reach out! *Disclaimer* I rate N/A beers on a N/A beer scale. Not a scale vs non-N/A beers. So an 8.5 rating of an N/A beer does not mean I think it is equivalent to an 8.5 real beer.

7.9/10 β€” Appearance 9 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 8
Faneuil draught, 8/13/26.
Rich pineapple with an afterthought of coconut. Maybe a dash of pine. Smells lightly bready, as well. Lots more fresh coconut flesh character, floral/acidic, as it warms/breathes. Pretty ambitious to combine just these hops without something softer/juicier.
But there's ample malt and the expert rendering of the hop leaves little/no acidity, no twangy pineapple, yet a fresh, rich coconut character and just enough bitterness to balance the rich, honey-like malts. Just a touch on the burly/very malty side, but I think it was better to err so with these hops.
