A Note on This Beer

*This beer is over 50% gone!*

Bursting with vibrant pineapple, a nod of tart cherry, and brimming with rich brown sugar, this smoothie-brew is luxuriously thick and velvety, beautifully balanced, and ridiculously reminiscent of pineapple upside down cake! 

It’s what you’d expect from Hoosier’s head brewer, Brian Pine. He honed his smoothie-style skills at the renowned 450 North Brewing, where he helped develop their coveted Fruited Sour series.

With an average score of 4.19 on Untappd, Hoosier’s Pie Face series is off to an equally illustrious start.

These brews are hard to come by. They rarely leave Indiana, and even locals have a tricky time finding a can — a recent Pie Face release sold out in just 9 minutes!

Thankfully, the Hoosier crew saved us a couple succulent slices of Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

For this batch, the brewers began with a Wild Sour Ale then loaded it up with luscious, tangy fruit and brown sugar. The sugar provides a toasty, pie-like counterbalance that uncannily captures the cake’s customary caramelization. 

Can a dessert-inspired beer taste too much like its muse? We don’t think so, and if you want a can of Hoosier’s latest drinkable dessert, you’d better click quick!

Hoosier paused their beer production in 2020 to focus on making hand sanitizer. Now they’re back, after donating over $1 Million to communities in need!

I don’t see how it could get closer to pineapple upside down cake. It has all the flavors even the way yellow cake and pineapple mesh and brown/caramelize.

Massive brown sugar aroma. Caramel sugar, pineapple, cake, cherry, granola. SUPER SWEET. Like punch your teeth out sweet. After some settling it almost seemed like a layer of liquid brown sugar/caramel was separating at the top. Great flavors, thick, just beyond sweet (and I’m a sugar fiend).

Be sure to decant this one into a glass. Lots of maple syrup, brown sugar, and pecan notes - all of which are good - but first note upon cracking this open almost completely lost the pineapple, even though I'd rolled the can gently before opening. After pouring, the pineapple came through in a still somewhat muted manner, but wasn't all but completely lost. I'd love to taste this with the pineapple punched up a little more, but it's still pretty pleasant.

Great beer delicious I recommend putting it in the freezer for a few. Overall it says pineapple upside down cake and that's what I got. Pineapple cherry tartness with a pronounced brown sugar taste all balanced out with the right amount of sourness.

Very thick, but true to taste with a deceivingly sweet smell but sour bite. It’s exactly what you would expect a pineapple upside-down sour beer to taste like.

Some impossible pineapple cake flavors that honestly had me questioning what kind of artificial flavors and additives that I believe they must have used.

Was not a big fan of this brew. Too much what seems like brown sugar/caramel flavor and did not remind me of pineapple upside down cake as other I’ve tried.
