Beavertown says Hawaii 5-Oh

Brewed for our friends, THE Friends of Ham in Leeds 5th Birthday. Inspired by their specialty in, and love for great beer and the best charcuterie, we decided to brew a beer very literally inspired by ham.

Pours hazy straw coloured, with a pillow-y white head. On the nose, the first thing that hits you is the smell of light smoke, like charcuterie, or smoked bacon. Beneath that are the tropical fruit aromas from the light dry hopping from Azacca and Hallertau Blanc, and of course the pineapple addition. On tasting, the smoke is much less punchy than expected from the nose. Instead there is a gentle acidity and juicy character from the pineapple, soft bitterness from the traditional Polish hops in the boil, all leading to a bone-dry finish that makes you immediately reach for another sip.
