Aroma is almost pure pineapple/pineapple cocktail. The flavor is fruit/citrus, malts/slight grains and a big pineapple/pineapple cocktails/mildly sweet finish..

L-Hazy light oakcolor
S-Citrus (oranges, grapefruit) and pineapple
T-Excellent tropical fruit flavors....pineapple, and papaya along with some citrus notes.
F-It really drinks clean and fresh and easy. Everything seems in balance. Lighter bodied for a pale ale but drinks easy.
O-Very enjoyable. I'm not a big fruit infusion beer type of guy but this one works really nicely. It's a great summer beer with a low abv.

Can from Hy-Vee, poured into pint glass. Agree with previous reviews: overall good, pineapple candy, touch of unwanted sourness.

Poured at cellar temperature from a 12-ounce can into a mug. Clear amber colored body, with a couple of fingers of brilliant white head that settled rather quickly without much of a trace. Nice pop of pine resin, pineapple, and grapefruit upon opening the can. Lots of bready malt on the nose and palate, along with pine, citrus, and pineapple. Medium bodied, pleasant bitterness, with a slightly oily mouthfeel and a resiny finish. There is some lingering sourness on the aftertaste that I didn't care for. Otherwise, a decent enough beer.

12 oz can from brewery poured into trophy glass.
Clear gold color with a fluffy white cap of 2 fingers, leaving tons of lace as it recedes. Quality.
Tons of pineapple candy on the nose, with loud strawberry jam notes and slight caramel.
Very malty, old school IPA-ish, with a biscuit-y/bready 2 row malt bill with slight toffee, followed by wild strawberries and seltzer water. Slight hop resins continue to the finish.
Feel is light and airy, almost like a nitro beer, with a slight crispness. I guess you could call it watery. Slight starches and resins remain on the palate after the swallow.
Overall while not incredibly impressive, this beer is unique for northern Iowa and offers some really interesting strawberry jam and pineapple notes. Just note it's a bit washed out, so it's not an explosively flavorful beer and it's best enjoyed from a glass, agitated.
