Pineapple Express

Tap to rate

Pineapple explodes on both the nose and the palate of this juicy, hazy, pale IPA, with grapefruit alongside. At 6.2% ABV it layers Cascade, Mosaic and Chinook hops over pale malt, wheat and oats, and the recipe is simply a hazy IPA pumped full of pineapple. Pineapple Express has returned for another round.

◌ Aroma

Pineapple dominates the nose with bright, ripe tropical fruit notes that jump immediately from the glass. Supporting aromatics of pink grapefruit acidity and subtle citrus zest emerge underneath, layered with soft pale malt sweetness. The Mosaic and Cascade hops deliver their characteristic fruity and floral character without harsh resinousness.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and approachable, with pineapple and citrus fruit leading the palate. The mid-palate carries forward the tropical character while wheat and oat adjuncts add a light, pillowy mouthfeel and subtle grain sweetness. Moderate bitterness from the Chinook and supporting hops sits balanced without dominating, finishing clean and refreshing.

Medium-length finish with lingering pineapple and grapefruit notes fading gracefully into a drying, slightly herbal aftertaste. The hop bitterness recedes steadily, leaving behind a refreshing citrus memory and clean, crisp sensation.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
