In the tap room this and the coconut porter were just about the perfect beer, unfortunately it is maybe a 3.5 out of the can here on the east coast. More reason to go back to Maui.

The beer is has a yellow haze to it with a thin head that dissipated rather quickly. The aroma if first go was that of pineapple juice followed by the faint smell of wheat. The beer has a good pineapple taste without it being overwhelming. It really just tastes like a wheat beer with some pineapple juice. It is well balanced and not overly sweet. The beer is medium bodied.

Decanted from a 12 oz (355 ml) can into a conical pint glass; canned on 08/24/17.
A: Pours a very slightly, hazy orange gold with very robust head formation, leading to a greater than one inch, fluffy white head, good retention, and solid lacing.
S: Slightly tart. Aroma of pineapple predominates with honeysuckle, caramel, and spice (?cinnamon).
T: Dry and slightly tart. Pineapple definitely out front and very consistent with real, unsweetened pineapple juice. A little caramel and pepper. Bitterness in exceptionally good balance with other flavor elements.
M: Light to medium bodied with very good persistence of effervescence. A bit creamy.
O: Do not really perceive much in the way of the wheat beer elements, could as easily have been a light ale or lager, but very light, drinkable, and enjoyable. Definitely for someone look beer with subtle fruitiness.

Pineapple Mana pours a darker copper color, with a little haze, and a big long lasting and lacing head. Smells of pineapple juice. Flavor is creamy, lots of pineapple juice flavors. Good body and feel. Overall, big on the pineapple flavors, and very pretty beer.

This tasted like a blend of hefe, lager and a wheat beer, all which looked like an NE IPA. Wasn't the biggest fan.

The taste smell and feel of this brew are very different and are slightl at odds with each other. The feel is frothy and thick, but the taste is light and crisp. Both are good alone but the combination is unexpected. The taste is also good but not akin to the smell. Probs wouldn’t buy again but still some yummy stuff brah
