Getting My Beer On Rivertown Pineapple Whip Beer Review

Brewed with milk sugar for creaminess, Pineapple Whip from Rivertown Brewery & Barrel House is a Nitro Berliner Style Sour Ale that carries a 5% ABV along and is a limited edition from the brewery making it a one-time brew from the brewery. For me, this one did have the sweetness expected although the artificialness of the added flavor was easy to distinguish. It was light and creamy due to the nitro effect, as well as fruity but just too soft for me. There was the sour feel to be expected, and on a warm day, it can have its place especially with the smoothness that it did provide. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one, and if you have had it then let me know what you thought by placing some comments below.
