Pours a hazy yellow color with a white head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is pineapple and a bit of orange. Taste is grapefuit and a hint of pineapple. Not sweet but smooth and creamy.

500 ml can, canned 08/13/22. My first new beer from Pipeworks in a while.
Poured to Camp Crystal Lake stemless tumbler.
Pours a cloudy limeade body with a half finger of head that falls quick. Juicy in appearance, no real lacing to speak of. Looks alright.
Aroma is musty, herbal, grassy. Notes of lemon and citrus, tho pineapple isn't exactly jumping out at me.
Juicy & citric. Herbal, grassy, bitter. Notes of tangerine, citrus peel, guava. Pineapple flavor is there, but the juiciness & pine flavors from the hops overpower it for the most part, if you ask me. Lots of pale bready malts, notes of grass, hay, straw. Tastes like there might be some rye malt in there also?
Feel is smooth, crisp, pretty clean. Medium-light. A bit filling for 4.60% abv.
Overall, a pretty basic feeling outing from Pipeworks, but its nice to have it cans, it's sweet & sessionable, and the price was right for $9.99 a 4pk.

I personally like it alot. Not very bitter and a subtle flavor of pineapple with hints of citrus. It could be a little sweeter with more pineapple flavor and punch, but I could drink this on a regular basis.

Pours a slightly hazed gold with a thumb of cream colored head. Average head retention & lacing
S: Pineapple aplenty & oranges
T: Pineapple & dryness, a little green melon & lime up front. Dryness, lime & pineapple as this warms, but not enough sweetness or acidity to really please me. Finishes with lime & pineapple notes, plus dryness
MF: Medium body, slight carbonation, decent balance
Drinkable, but not memorable or enjoyable

Looks like a standard apa. Slightly hazy golden with a fluffy white head that sticks to the glass after it dissipates. It smells a little bit like tropical fruit, mostly pineapple with not much else present. It tastes like the nose would lead you to believe, but has a pleasant bitter finish that one would expect from a classic American pale ale. It goes down very smoothly, and it's not overly sweet or bitter so it's easy to drink. Overall pretty good. I wouldn't buy a 4 pack for myself, but when I see it on draft I'd get one.

Bright ever so slightly hazy golden pour with two fingers puffy white head.
Aroma steals the show - blast of pineapple, tropical fruit, a bit of toffee like malt and citrus hops.
Pineapple on the palate also but with a grassy flavour, tropical fruit, citrus - slightly dank, a bit of a floral bittersweet character but pineapple remains at the centre.
Light to medium bodied with brisk carbonation - tropical sweetness remains with only a light residual bitterness. Very drinkable.
