chart at the bottom of the page to show you how they're doing so far. Seems like they started off strong and petered off a bit of late. That's not to say they are bad - their collective average so far is 2.78/5, and that puts them at the better end of what I'd consider an average beer (I explained my rating system here, if you want more charts and reading). Now, on to the review.
The nominally hazy gold beverage doesn't start off with much of a head, and it's not going to get any better from there. Points of nucleation abound in the depths of the beer, but they fail to maintain any kind of head whatsoever. Even the usual ring of bubbles around the sides of the glass can't exist; this might be the addition of the pineapple as a deterrent to surface tension. I don't know, as I'm no physicist. The aroma is pineapple and wheat with some other bright citrus seemingly melded into it.First sip is tart. I'm not sure why it's tart, and I certainly wasn't expecting it, but there it is. I'm not saying it's necessarily bad, but tart simply isn't an aspect of a taste of a beer that I have come to expect, despite having run into it quite a few times. Under the tartness is the wheat and definite pineapple, and they seem pretty crisp.
Tip-in is tart and slightly sour with carbonation barely doing anything and flavors not really able to surmount the prodigious tartness. As the middle enters, the tartness shifts to the top of the mouth, but it always lets you know it's there. Pineapple and wheat flow crisply underneath with some orange added for a little spice. The finish is an unsurprising layer of tartness with a little bit of sour for the trail off.
Bottom Line: This might be your thing, but it's really not mine.
1.5/5
