Hops that create a Pineapple flavor

[AcreBrewer]

After trying Pineapple Tessellation form Lone Pine in Portland ME. My wife wants to make something close. She wants most of the pineapple flavor to come from the hops / hop combinations. She does plan to age it on some form of real pineapple at the end. I have a good base NEIPA recipe I use which is a really good clone of Swish. Anyone ever achieve this flavor in their beers?

While I've not used them personally but have had them in commercial beers, I get a lot of pineapple from galaxy hops.

Galaxy and Vic Secret both give distinct pineapple flavor and aroma to me.

I did a Summit/GP SMaSH (all whirlpool, no boil hops) and it tasted like pure pineapple juice.

Denali is the most pineapple hop I've had.

Yep Denali

Denali and Vic Secret combined will definitely get you there. Lone Pine has been nailing it and I picked up a case of Raspberry Sparkler last weekend. I am getting a little irritated, however, that every time I'm in Portland there's no Oh-J until 3 days after I head back home.

Sometimes I'll pick up some pineapple from Simcoe.

What is a Summit/GP smash?

I pretty much do the same in all my NEIPA's. Big whirlpool addition. A good amount at 2 or 3 days of primary fermentation. Then one last charge after fermentation is complete.

A local brewery in Columbia, SC uses Belma hops in their house double IPA. Very mild but noticeable pineapple nose and flavor!
