Icarus Brewing’s Pineapple Hindenburg presents a modern, fruited evolution of the American Pale Ale, leaning heavily into a tropical profile. The inclusion of oats and spelt provides a velvety foundation for the vibrant interplay of Lupulin Citra and experimental Bru-1 hops. A bold, fresh pineapple aroma dominates the olfactory experience, followed by layers of sweet tropical citrus and bright pineapple flavors. While the bitterness remains approachable, a unique character emerges in the finish—a subtle, nuanced hint of Habanero that provides a delicate whisper of heat without overwhelming the palate. It is a lush, fruit-forward, and complexly balanced pour.
Appearance.Hazy to opaque pale gold (5-7 SRM) with a thick, frothy white head that shows excellent retention and leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity aromatic profile defined by a massive wave of fresh pineapple and tropical fruit. Hop-derived scents of tangerine and lime from Citra blend with the distinct pineapple and stone fruit notes of Bru-1. Low grainy-sweet malt presence with no significant habanero in the nose.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of sweet pineapple and tropical citrus. The Citra hops contribute bright orange zest, while Bru-1 reinforces the pineapple character. Malt provides a soft, bread-like support. Bitterness is moderate and clean, leading to a finish that reveals a faint, savory Habanero pepper note and a very light, prickly heat.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, soft texture derived from the heavy use of oats and spelt. Moderate carbonation. A slight, lingering warmth is present, reflecting both the alcohol content and the subtle chili addition.
