SanTan Brewing Company Mr. Pineapple Wheat Beer

Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the NorCal Beer Blog’s brew review.

Tonight’s featured beer is SanTan Brewing Company Mr. Pineapple Wheat Beer. I picked this beer up on a recent visit to Arizona.

From the SanTan Brewing Company website: “Winner of a silver medal at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival competition, Mr. Pineapple was originally conceived for SanTan Brewing Company’s annual Luau Day. Hazy straw gold in color, we add natural pineapple juice to a traditional wheat beer creating a refreshing tropical flavor. The pineapple is balanced with a firm malt character and a slight hint of clove. Mr. Pineapple is the perfect way to beat the heat on a warm summer day!”

Let’s get started!
