Hazy pale golden orange colour, 2.5 fingers of white head, good lace. Smell is citrusy, banana and pineapple, wheat, mildly yeasty points with a bit of clove and spice. Taste is milder than the nose, banana with subtle citrus, clove and yeasty flavours mid palate, pineapple and banana aftertaste. Medium carbonation, medium body. Pretty good, would make a great warm weather beer.

I'm reviewing this weeks after I drank it, so I can't be very specific.
What I will say, is that I REALLY disliked the taste. Something (some crappy pineapple flavor?) was really clashing with some other flavor(s) (wheat flavor, maybe?) in the beer, and made it feel very poor quality or flavor match to me. I was hopeful and excited to try pineapple flavor, as I've had some other really nice brewed pineapple beverages and I like the taste of pineapples as well, but this just felt like a failed experiment to me.
I think the mouthfeel wasn't anything particularly great either, but at this point I don't really remember that much.
Wasn't foul, but unless I got a bad (too old, maybe? it was on clearance) bottle, it seems over-rated here.

This one smells more like pineapple then it tastes. There is a nice hint of pineapple. Overall it came across to me as a pretty good but not great Hefeweizen.

From old notes.
A - Poured cloudy golden with two fingers of fluffy white head. Strong carbonation, good retention and lace.
S - Floral and citrusy. Definite pineapple, some perfume, fruit juice.
T - A lot of the same with floral, citrus notes, pineapple, perfume, wheat, and fruit juice. Does all sorts of nice things.
M - Good carbonation, nice light to medium body, floral and pineapple in the finish.
O/D - Decent stuff. Nice pineapple flavour and a nice wheat dose. Drinkable and enjoyable while being different. Good stuff.

Hazy golden yellow colour. Two inches of white head that forms a mountain in the middle of the glass. Strong carbonation with bubbles of different sizes. Great lacing and retention.
Lots of aroma ... seet pineapple, strong yeasty wehat hefe smell. The two aroma are well matched together.
The taste starts with a mild wheat taste then there is lots of pineapple but very sweet. The pineapple really dominates even in the mild aftertaste.
Medium feel but the carbonation is not strong in the mouth.
Theis is nice but it is just a novelty. It is too sweet. I was hoping for the tangy spicy hefe taste to be in with the pineapple but it was MIA.

Purchased at the LCBO for around $5.00 for a 650ml bottle. Enjoyed at 4deg C in a tulip
A- Ok. Unfiltered. Not much head at all.
S- Lots o pineapple. Very overpowering but that is what this beer is about
T- Pretty hard pineapple and sourness.
M- Ok at best.
O- Heartburn is on the way for sure
Food Pairing
This not so good beer was not food rated. If I did eat something it would have real pineapple on it for sure
Enjoy

Bottle: Poured a light hazy orangey color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aromas of wheat malt with some notes of pineapple are quite singular. Taste is also a mix between some sweet wheat malt notes with some pineapple juice which more or less works well together. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Not sure what to make of this experiment but probably won’t seek again.
