Pours a light gold color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma is pineapple juice. Taste is a slightly tart pineapple. Crisp and dry. A good summer brew.

Single can picked up as part of a mixed-6 at Wegmans. Well, it smells like pineapple and strawberries, so at least it does what it's supposed to. Mouthfeel is slightly watery and there's not a whole lot going on other than the moderately sweet fruit. It would be nice at the beach but otherwise I would pass. At least it's only 4% abv.

This looks ok. On the light side of golden with a thick white head slight haze and lots o carbonation bubbles. Over ripe pineapple nose is ok also. Flavor transfers with a citrus element. Not very sweet which makes it drinkable yet not very potent which for me makes it ho-hum. Drying ending with pretty strong carbonation. Minus a few points for only a measly 4% alcohol.

Tasted in a Spiegelau wheat glass from a 12 fl oz can on March 12, 2020. Wheat ale brewed with pineapple, blood orange and strawberry. Crisp, bright and refreshing.

12 oz 2019 can served in a lager glass.
Pours with a cloudy, golden straw colored body with a tall, creamy, semi-durable, bone-colored head.
Aroma. Wheat beer with pineapple, strawberry and citrus notes.
Flavor. Pineapple, strawberries, wheat bread, oranges and yeast - in that order of strength. This has a better and more harmonious mix of flavors than the aroma suggests.
Feel. Medium-light body with prickly, medium-high carbonation.
Overall. Fruity and refreshing.

A: The beer is hazy pale yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving just some wisps of bubbles on the surface.
S: Light aromas of strawberries are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of strawberries along with notes of blood orange and hints of pineapple. No sweetness is perceptible.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very fruity and easy to drink. I liked how there was no sweetness and the strawberries were especially prominent (which you don't really see in beers).

From a twelve ounce aluminum can, this beer is a hazy golden color. The head is fizzy and white, and the aroma is intense with tropical fruit notes. Light on the pallet, and a nice mix of sweet and tart fruit...orange and a wheat twang are notable. Noice beer for a breezy, warm, sunny day.
