Poured a beautifully bright and only slightly cloudy yellow with a full head of nice white foam. Aromas and flavors are bursting with pineapple qualities: it truly tastes like biting into a fresh, sweet tropical pineapple while on the beach of an island paradise. For a beer that doesn't have any added fruits or juices, this is the most pineapple flavor I've ever encountered in a brew; it's not cloying or too sweet though. There's some bitterness on the back end of the creamy and lightly effervescent mouthfeel. Just wonderful.

Beautiful cloudy yellow-orange body. Thin white head.

Nose is hop encrusted pineapple.

Flavor continues the pineapple associations. Sharp, crisp, fruity, creamy, biting. Just a delicious glass of happiness.

Mouthfeel is sharp, drying, slightly chalky and a bit puckery. Very nice, you can certainly tell you are getting a hop forward 8.1% DIPA.

Overall, an outstanding beer. Glad to find it in a awesome can with a vintage sci-fi theme as well, (That is: not the black and white scientist motif shown on this website).

Can into a snifter appears a hazy pale golden yellow color with a white cap that fades leaving spotty lace.

Aroma is like sticking your nose into a bag of pelletized hops that have been open awhile. Herbal, citrusy and with a hefty cheese-like stank to it.

Taste is like lemony drop candy with a cereal-like grain freshness/sweetness to the finish. Some of that cheese-like hop flavor is present before finishing with lemon pledge cleaner.

Medium in body with modest carbonation. Not a bad brew.
