Description:
How do you cram as much hop & malt flavor and aroma as possible into a beer but make it crushable too? That's the challenge we answered with PINNER Throwback IPA. At 4.9% ABV and 35 IBUs, this drinkable IPA uses several varieties of hops to target the ever-evolving flavor. With tropical fruits, citrus juices, pineapple and spice berry up front in the aroma and flavor, the biscuit & toasted bread at the back balance out all the hops and make a great finish to go on to your next can of PINNER. It's the perfect beer for a little sip, sip, give. (Description provided by company)

Comments
I hardly know her!
Pours out a clear light coppery golden color, with full but quickly receding finger of a bubbly head.
Tropical fruit and citrus make up much of the very pleasing and almost sweet aroma, along with a tiny hint of crisp, pale malt. There's quite a bit of (expected) hop flavor, and there is even a hint of peachy flavor that I didn't find in the aroma. Very crisp and refreshing malt flavors, with a medium long finish. There is a bit more bitterness towards the finish, but it's not overly harsh or disruptive.
Crisp and clean with some fruity hop flavors and easily manageable bitterness, the Oskar Blues Pinner hits a nice balance of flavor and bitter.
