Pineapple Dutch
Alvarium Beer Company

A collab with Kinsmen Brewing in Southington.

A: crystal clear; medium gold in color; 1+ finger finely pored head that receded to a wispy cap; very little lacing;

S: the pineapple is noticeable from a couple feet away; up close, it's a nice balance between ripe pineapple and smoke;

T: the flavor doesn't work as well for me; it's much more smoke than pineapple; mild tartness; the aftertaste reminds me of the smell you get when you walk into a building a couple days after there was a fire;

M: light to medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

O: there's a lot to like about how this beer was made; unfortunately, the balance of flavors was off;
