Serving Type: BottleABV: 4.8 percent
Appearance: This brew poured a very foggy straw fold. By foggy, I mean almost opaque! It was crowned with a bright white head that was merely a thin layer of foam at the start and continued as such throughout the drink. Still, some decent web-like lacing was left on the inside of the glass as it was gradually consumed. I think the fogginess of this prevented me from seeing any carbonation. What I did see was some pineapple sediment floating around. I also noticed some of it in the bottom of the can.
Smell: Very, very sweet and malty. The pineapple aroma is pretty intense as well as sweet. A little bit grassy.
Taste: The pineapple and grassy flavors complimented each other nicely on the front. The pineapple stayed with me mid-way back and mixed with the sweet malt for an intense sugar rush. I caught just a tad of hop bitterness on the finish. This was more sweet than balanced.
Overall Rating: 
This was very hazy, but I don't think it'd look the same if there was anything transparent about this brew. I didn't enjoy the sediment, but I had to remind myself that it was pineapple in a beer made with pineapple. If you enjoy pineapple you might love this. Still, this sometimes gets a bit too sweet and malty for me. It even gets a little intense. It's a great beer, but I find that I have to be in the mood for the sweetness. Maybe a little more balanced? With all of that said, I love that this beer is a part of our local offering here in Pittsburgh.
