CoolHead Brew

This Wild Specialty Beer from CoolHead Brew is a vibrant exploration of nostalgic confectionery, centering on the zesty and tropical interplay of pineapple and grapefruit candies. The sensory experience opens with an aromatic burst of sugared citrus rinds and ripe, juicy pineapple. On the palate, the intense fruit flavors are elevated by a bright, clean lactic tartness that cuts through the candy-like sweetness. Effervescent and fizzy, the mouthfeel enhances the refreshing quality of the grapefruit, while the pineapple adds a lush, tropical depth. It finishes crisp and dry, leaving a lingering impression of citrus zest and sweet tropical fruit.

Appearance. Pale yellow with a slight haze (3-5 SRM). Pours with a moderate white head that has fair to poor retention, typical of high-acid styles, leaving minimal lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of candied pineapple and fresh grapefruit zest. A clean, lemony lactic sourness provides the backdrop, blending with the sugary fruit notes. Malt and hop character are absent, allowing the specialty candy ingredients to dominate.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of tart grapefruit and sweet pineapple candy. A moderate to high lactic acidity enhances the fruit profile without being harsh. Malt flavor is low and neutral, like white crackers. Bitterness is negligible. The finish is crisp and dry with lingering notes of citrus pith and tropical fruit.

Mouthfeel. Light body with high, prickly carbonation that provides a fizzy sensation. No alcohol warmth is perceived. The mouthfeel is sharp and refreshing with no astringency.
