Pineapple Space Cake
Clown Shoes

 

Gift from younger brother. Thank you.
Mix of fruity hop and fruit aroma. Nice deeper gold color in a slightly cloudy body. Darkish head with sticky lacing.
Nice complexity. More bitter than many. Shots of pineapple in the fruity hop mix, but this can was a little old so those flavors were more background than foreground. Only somewhat sticky feel that is a bit on the thin side.
This is all right.

 

 

 

Pours a very hay golden color with a thick foamy head. Head retention is very good as is lacing. Malty pineapple aroma with some floral and tropical tones. Nice pineapple taste. Malty with some hints of other tropical fruits. Mild piney bitterness. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty solid pineapple IPA. It doesnt come off as too sweet nor does it taste like fake, candy pineapple, which is great. The hops are mellowed out by the fruit, making this a smooth, easy drinker.

L-The beer pours a reasonably clear golden amber with a 3 finger off white head. The head recedes to a thick film leaving patchy lacing behind.
S- The nose is heavy up front with the beer's considerable malt presence. Behind that there is a lesser amount of sweet pineapple. Rounding out the nose is a bit of alcohol which is fairly consistent with my experience with regular Space Cake.
T- The taste rather than being layered, comes at you mixing the malt and pineapple. The hop bitterness rides underneath these flavors and takes over at the back half of the mid palate.
F- Mouthfeel over all is a solid medium. The bitterness provides a touch of dryness to the finish. Carbonation is on the lower side of medium.
O- A decent DIPA with a slight variation on the original. The pineapple is pretty subtle, but definitely there. All in all though this one seems to just average overall and my memories of regular space cake are generally more positive than this one. Worth a shot for the tickers, but I'd stick with the non adjunct version for regular drinking.

A: The beer is slightly hazy yellowish amber in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that left a patch of bubbles on the surface, a narrow collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of mangos, pine, and pineapple are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, having flavors of mangos and pineapple along with notes of pine. There is a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I thought that the pineapple would be a little stronger based on the name of this beer, but it was a nice fruity IPA.

Serving type: can

Pours a pale amber and topped with a firm off-white froth. Aroma of pineapple and caramel up front with pear and orange subsequent. Sweet on the tongue with more pineapple, pear juice, zest and an herbal/earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium in body. A really simple yet fairly tasty IPA without much fault to be found beyond personal preference.
