A pungent, tropical, Pineapple IPA brimming with bright pineapple and fuzzy hop juice. Brewed with Pilsner malt, fluffy malted oats, unmalted wheat, a touch of Honey Malt and hopped in the kettle with Amarillo and Mosaic. We then conditioned the beer on roughly 700lb of pineapple tidbits and dry-hopped it with a MASSIVE amount of AU Ella.

Poured into a 16 Nordic pint glass canned on July 2. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a half inch slightly sticky head, that leaves thick patches of lace. 4
Smell pineapple, guava, and grapefruit rind one dimensional but tasty. 4
Taste follows pineapple drives this as the can suggests and some other tropical flavors, guava and grapefruit. 4
Mouthfeel is a solid medium, not dry but a tad sticky, gentle carbonation, and at 7.8% ABV extremely approachable. 4
Overall this is a very nice brew and I bet on a hot day you would drink these a tad fast and get a tad stupid in a hurry. Thanks [USER=11387]@jzeilinger[/USER] for this tasty DIPA. 4

Look- pours an opaque light golden with a whitey head and sheets of lacing
Aroma- predominantly pineapple with dank weed under that; also getting a bit of a somewhat sweet floral note (honeysuckle, maybe)
Taste- follows the nose very closely with pineapple and dank weed, along with just a little bitterness
Feel- medium-light bodied with a long, somewhat sweet and slightly bitter finish
Overall- a two-note beer with mainly pineapple and dank weed notes that for my tastes, work really well together
