| It looks delicious, right? |
Unfortunately, I assumed it was Hawaiian-style in the same way that an ale might be American-style or a Wit would be Belgian-style. If I'd read the label, I would have seen that it's Hawaiian in the same way that a pizza is Hawaiian - there's pineapple.
I'm allergic to pineapple.
As far as I can tell, Spearhead's Hawaiian Style Pale Ale tastes like burning. Mild burning, but still. Burning.
So, when I spotted their new Moroccan Brown Ale, I was excited - finally, I could check out a Spearhead beer!

| I read this (awesome) label very carefully. |
This ale's ingredient list, thankfully, doesn't include any pineapple. It does, however, feature raisins, dates, figs and cinnamon. These lend the dark brown brew a sweet, complex flavour - not, like, crazy-sweet, but a nice change of pace from hopped up IPAs. I would love to drink it while eating excessive amounts of cheese. Totally recommended.
Cheers!
