After all, what else can I review but a local microbrew. This is going to be a very basic amatuer review because thats my style.
First off I didn't expect much from a hawaii brew, were not famous for our beer here. The beer was on sale for 6$ or something a 6 pack so I said what the hell ill give it a try. I generally dislike lagers.
First impression by smell, not too good, expected better then average but semi-typical lager. After a half glass, starts to go down smooth, tastes kinda sweet, not too bitter. Aftertaste is decent, kinda feels like liquid candy, maybe the slightest bit of apple but maybe i'm just imagining it. Little to no head, nor head retention. Bottle doesn't say but one source says 4.7abv, tastes like it. Color: Orangered. Overall: Impressed only because I expected very little, lagers still arn't my thing but I certainly don't regret buying this beer. If you can get a single bottle, try it out, if not skip it unless your rich and just want to try every beer possible. Cheers!
