The pineapple head durian is named because the messy arrangement of the thorns resemble that of the head of a pineapple.

Huang li tou (黄梨头) in Chinese.

This is a durian that packs a strong bitter taste that invades your mouth from the first bite. Then it slowly settles down and releases a somewhat caramel flavour.

There is no taste that resembles that of a pineapple.

The texture is soft. But not into the arena of what is considered watery.
