12oz bottle pours see through yellow with small head. Big pineapple and fruit aroma. Apple pineapple and sweet fruit taste.

Drank from the bottle but poured some on the ground to check the appearance a bit.< br> Pours amber with a white head.< br> I can smell this stuff from a distance, my initial reaction is WTH is this? Unimaginably sweet, maybe sweetest thing I have ever smelled. Extremely sweet candy sugar, chemical pine apple, caramel, mango, multi-fruit juice, super concentrated candy sugar.< br> Taste is comparable, impossibly sweet pine apple, mango, multi-fruit and candy sugar chemicals, caramel, chemical toffee, peach, hard to comprehend.< br> Medium bodied.< br> This is not beer but this is something fascinatingly horrible, I think that I enjoyed it but I am not too sure.< br> (25 cl. bottle // drank straight from the bottle @ bus stop with Artiom // obtained from Willems en Zoon)

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a smallish white head. Nose is definitely fruity and you can tell there is pineapple there, though it is more subtle; the oak comes through slightly as well. Taste is a little sweet, though you can’t specifically tell it’s pineapple.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is caramel, sweet mango, pineapple and toffee. Quite synthetic. Flavour is caramel, sweet abricot and pineapple.

25cl bottle from beer planet, shared with Gitte. Cloudy orange, smooth small white head. Aroma is quite sugary sweet, powdered sugar, like the taste You get when you eat grape fruit with powdered sugar on. mild aroma of sweet pineapple. faint note under all that, of citrussy lambic. Flavor is pineapple sweetness, wood, and lambic. Tastes quite a lot like a too-sweet pineapple frut juice. Wood adds some odd oaky flavors that increases the already present cloying sensation.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli - picked up from THE Dranken Geers. Pours clear, pale gold with a fine, frothy white cream head. Sugary fruits in the nose, hints of pineapple. Hugely sweet flavor, pretty cloying, lots of pineapple juice, some oily coconut. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sweet, syrupy finish, more pineapple juice, mild puke, sugar syrup. Very little sourness. Yeah, just far too sweet overall. Not undrinkable, but not great.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with nearly no head at all. Synthetic odour of some sweet, cheap detergent, sparsely interpersed with vinous notes. Excessively sweet flavour of pineapple cake, not fresh, though. This is not nice.

25cl bottle. Appearance: clear blonde beer, white head. Nose: pineapple, very little sourness... Taste: a little sour, pineapple, but way to sweet... This doesn’t remind me of beer in any way.

Bottle: Smaller to medium sized lively but thicker white head. Changes quick into a lacing on top of a clear yellow colored beer. Aromas of cherry bon bons, marzepin, alcohol, dust, dried mango and figs, sweets, strange smell. Flavours of marzepin, sweet fruit, exotic fruit, mango, peach, melon, apple, etc, sweets, lots of sweet fruits, sweet candy and some artificial sweets. Aftertaste is thin and excists mostly of sweets, sweet fruit and sweet candy. Low carbo, soft mouthfeel, medium body and a creamy texture. I am not a fan of sweet beer but I love marzepin. For a lambic beer this is bad.

The pour is clear as a bell with no head. The nose is furniture polish, light tropical fruit, nail polish remover. The taste is just pineapple juice. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean, light body and a shirt finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
