March 2012: 355 ml can, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.5%. Cloudy golden colour, large white head. Distinct aroma of pineapple juice, more traditional wheaty notes in the background, a hint of cloves. The flavour is wheaty and refreshing, with distinct notes of pineapple juice again. Minimal hops (18 IBU). Okay as a summer refreshment.

APPEARANCE: Clean amber, with an average white head and light lace.
NOSE: Crisp and refreshing pineapple. Pretty spot-on.
TASTE: Medium body gives away the wheat malts, with a unique pineapple vibe that adds a refreshing and tasty tropical vibe to this otherwise light , easygoing ale. Delicious!

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.
I like pineapple. ... Yup. Anyhoo, this stuff pours a partly cloudy brass topped by a finger or so of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises pineapple juice, light dry wheat, and a splash of apple juice. The taste generally brings in more of the same, but the pineapple is more bitter than sweet, and the wheat goes all wet and broken. It's not a pleasant flavor, lemme tell ya. The body is a hefty light, with a light moderate carbonation and a liquid feel. Overall, though constructed of solid pieces, the combination just doesn't quite work.

Nice refreshing wheat beer from the solid Maui Brewing Company. 1/22/20 date printed on can. Pours a medium golden color with a little fluffy white head and some spotty lingering lacing. Smells faintly of pineapple, wheat, grain, corn, malt and a little faint fruity hops. Taste follows the nose, decently balanced and quite flavorful. Smooth, crisp, pleasant mouthfeel with good carbonation. A great beer to drink on a hot summer’s day.

It was OK, not bad, a little bit too bland and too much pineapple, but refreshing
Look: semi-clear light yellow with a big fluffy white head
Aroma: wheat, yeast, pineapple
Taste: The flavor is mild wheat, some yeast, pineapple, fairly bland but thirst quenching. It is nice enough.
Body/Overall: it is light easy drinking

This is basically a bland wheat beer with very little pineapple aroma or flavor. There is nothing objectionable about it other than the lack of pineapple which is kind of the point in a beer with pineapple in the name.
