Clear gold color with a moderate white head that retreats to just a thin film fairly quickly but does manage some nice lacing.
The aroma is light sweet malt with some tropical fruit notes, possibly pineapple.
The taste is light sweet malt and pineapple. The pineapple does taste like fresh fruit, not artificial. It is also slightly understated, not overpowering.
The body is light/medium.
Altogether this is a slightly sweet, but still light refreshing brew that could go down well while mowing the lawn or enjoying some BBQ.

I mostly get canned pineapple juice and corn pops on the nose and taste. It's only one can so we'll see but im pretty sure the corn/cereal isn't supposed to be this prevalent, seems to be fading as I get through it already hopefully. Not bad but not great either.
UPDATE: The corn pops taste seems to have subsided in the other cans so that's good but it occasionally appears always. I'll up my rating a smidge since there's way worse things out there to me, not undrinkable.
After thinking it over like there's just better blonde ales point blank period.

12 oz can, best by 11/29/20. Pours slightly hazy straw yellow with a medium creamy white head that goes to a thin film that leaves little lacing.
The aroma is some fruitiness and earthy malt.
The flavor is sweet sugary fruit with a bready malt finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, overly sweet with a generic fruitiness rather than big pineapple.

Look - pours golden yellow with thin foamy head.
Smell - Fresh citrus smell, very pleasant.
Taste - Fresh citrus taste, specifically pineapple. Very light and smooth.
Feel - Light and carbonated.
Overall: Love the can's design, smell, and taste. Crushable beer for the the summer season,
and quickly became one of my new faves. If you enjoy Kona Castaway's IPA, you'd enjoy this. It doesn't have the same harsh bite that the Kona does (not a huge IPA fan). Well worth a try.

Look * nice golden color and very clear - nice thick foam with about a 2 finger head - decent retention - great lacing
Smell * bread, malt, and tropical notes
Taste * lots of pineapple right upfront - it is slightly sweet during the pineapple period, but it dries out considerably - nice yeast and breadiness after - very crisp
Feel * lower bodied - mostly a thin mouthfeel
Overall * this is a flavorful beer - its ok to have one once in awhile but I don't think I would grab a 6 pack - it's pretty good though and worth trying

Poured from a 12oz can with a best by date of 11/21/18; into a pub glass.
Appearance- a crisp, clean gold with an abundance of bubbles that hold a medium sudsy, white head; lacing is minimal.
Smell- literally smells of fresh pineapple upside down cake!
Taste - this is fantastic as it isn’t that sweet, but still presents as pineapple dominant, yet all beer!
Feel - an absolute light, crusher that is low in sweetness and high in drink ability!
Overall- great at a baseball game, summer bbq or a day at the pool; never mind that this is classified here as a fruit beer, it is not your typical over sweetened beer and has far more beer qualities!

In my hotel wine glass this beer is a clear gold color with a tiny white head.
Strong sweet fruit aroma, a little grain.
Big pineapple taste, much like the syrup from a can of pineapple.
Too sweet, way too sweet.

Mouthfeel: Medium to light.
Overall: Very nice if you like pineapple, very pure pineapple taste but not overkill.
