From the bottom of the can: "CANNED ON 5/10/2021 13:36 PINEAPPLE JUICE" the P is missing but inferred. There is an ink smudge on the lip of the can.
Appearance: The body is a pale beige and completely opaque. The head is white and fluffy with mostly large, frothy bubbles. Moderate retention, no lacing.
Aroma: The aroma is mellow with notes of melon and a light bit of washed and cut cabbage.
Taste: It has a slightly sweet taste of sugar covered gummy worms. There's a light bit of pear with hints of melon and peach in the mix. It's a very mellow flavor that's barely apparent.
Mouthfeel: It is light bodied and smooth with a water-like drinkability. The can states that this is "7.6% ALC BY VOLUME" and it does an astronomical job of hiding this ABV
Overall: The beer would be hard to pair with anything because something as simple as jasmine rice would overpower its flavor. It's a well-made beer but it seems so delicate that a flower would probably disrupt it. I wouldn't drink it again because it lacks any memorable character other than what it lacks. It's not something I'd recommend although it is drinkable and it does have some redeeming qualities, such as the pleasantly light character.
