Sam Adams Longshot Contest Winner: Pineapple IPA

Pours a honey gold (dare I say "pineapple"?) hue with a one-finger off-white head. The hops bites right off the bat, a piney variety that balances the pineapple nicely, although the pineapple imparts more sweetness than actual pineapple flavor. Kind of an oily aftertaste on the down side, but some caramel notes on the positive side. I don't think it lives up to its label.
