Interesting aroma, it does smell like pineapple. Taste is orange or let's call it pineapple-orange juice followed by tangerine peel. Quite frothy in the mouth. Some haze in the amberish brew poured in the New Belgium snifter. Plenty of foam.
Overall this is pretty murky, but maybe it's the hops and not the usual slippery oats and wheat flakes. Moderate acidity, however, rears its head. Of some interest to the hop collector but this is not the reason I drink beer. From the 16 oz can purchased at somewhere in Oregon.

Pours a hazy pineapple color with a white head that is quite clingy on the glass. Lots of citrus on the nose, primarily pineapple and a bit of lemon, and those notes translate nicely to the taste, with the lemon taking on a more prominent role.
The mouthfeel is medium and fairly bright, which fits this surprisingly refreshing fresh hop IPA really well.

Served in 16oz Willi Becher. Poured a very cloudy orange-yellow color with 3/4 inch of white head that had good retention and lacing.
The aroma was mostly frooty hops, with a touch of citrus, and no real grain aspect.
Pretty much the same on the tongue, with the addition of a bit of skunkiness on the back end.
The body was the typical light of the murky style, smooth, and had a bit of bite on the finish.
Drinkability was OK, but I think this is not the hop for me.
Overall, an OK brew that didn't push my buttons. YMMV.

16oz can served in a stemless wineglass. Dated 090921.
Pours a pale slightly hazy yellow with a small to medium sized head. Smell is melon rind and vegetation. Slight orange and pineapple sweetness.
Taste is lemon zest and strong piney bitterness, a hint of tropical fruit, most of the melon is gone.
Mouthfeel is quite light and dry. Overall, very nice.
