Brewed as a tribute to the decades of hard work by conservationists to restore the health of the James River, The Great Return features an assertive blend of west coast hops that display a complex bouquet of grapefruit, orange, melon, passion fruit and a delicate herbal spice. In pondering how to provide even more tropical fruit depth to this beer, brewer Nick Walthall identified the perfect ingredient: fresh pineapple. Incomparably bright, this blend of citrusy Great Return and tropical pineapple melds together in brilliant harmony.

I just don’t know what they’re trying to do here. I didn’t enjoy it and dumped out half of it. It’s not bitter like an ipa should be, and there’s not enough pineapple to make it anything special. Try EVO Pine’hopple instead.
