Neon yellow and semi-translucent in appearance. Smell is strong pineapple, salty hops, some vanilla and other tropical fruit there too. Taste is milder than expected, with oak having a much larger presence than smell indicated. Not sour or tart, rather more acidic in feel, thin and cloying finish. More flavor in the taste as it warms, but still pineapple and oak led

The look is light yellow-orange with some medium-fine white head. Not much lacing.

It definitely has oak on the nose. The fruit can best be described as Five Alive that's heavy on the pineapple. Bitter and sweet at levels that balance each other. A little pine.

Taste is much less sweet. It definitely still has the advertised pineapple and oak, but overall it's not as complex as the nose. It's almost... like a strong shandy.

Carbonation is coarse and prickly. Aftertaste matches the taste well, and is even oddly slightly astringent.

 

Kinda hazy, pale gold, quickly fading head. Smells tart and full of pineapple. Taste is lightly sweet, a little salty. Tastes like a tasty Pina colada. Nice carbonation and a light body. Pretty tasty.

 

 

Had this on tap at Seymour in Greenfield, MA. The beer had a thin white head that dissipated quickly leaving a very bright and murky yellow beer. Good fruit aroma with that pineapple mentioned, but a little earthy too. Pretty sweet up front with a sour aftertaste. Great carbonation; very refreshing with a good bite. I really enjoyed the appearance and mouthfeel to this beer.
