This sounds very similar to something my dad said the sailors learned from the local pineapple workers when he was stationed in Hawaii, which was to cut off the top off a growing pineapple out in the field and let it ferment in the sun. Apparently packed quite a kick. They got busted for being out in the pineapple fields, doing that with the locals and the other things it led to ahem, because of the indelible red dirt stains on the knees of their whites.
