Beer of the Weekend #1,077: Mahalo Pineapple Radler
The beer of the weekend is Mahalo Pineapple Radler, brewed by the Front Street Brewery of Davenport, Iowa.
Serving type: 64-ounce growler.
Appearance: The color is clear apple juice gold. A finger of off-white, bubbly head fizzles away almost immediately.
Smell: Fruity and sweet. Pineapple emerges slowly and brings to mind juicy cuts of the fruit. Apple, strawberry, and grape are also present in the aroma. It has that weird radler/shandy aroma that is reminiscent of beer but also reminds me of pop. It is enticing.
Taste: It is fruity and tart, sticky juicy sweet. Pineapple does not stand out; it is a melange of fruit. It is more like a very sweet smoothie made with everything inside a fruit cup that is a little past its prime. Apple and strawberry are most prominent.
