does not count Dawnshighway71 (3), USA Feb 1, 2006 To put it bluntly, this beer is essentially piss-water. I discovered it while sailing in French Polynesia. The brand dominated all the islands in French Polynesia. The funny part was the people were proud of this and acted like it was a great beer. They don’t experience much foreign beer since everything has to be imported and and the heinekin is skunky from the sun and heat by the time it arrives in Polynesia. Pretty bad stuff. Nice logo though.
pkbites (273), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Nov 30, 2008 Pours a pale yellow. Nose of light lemon and other citrus fruits. Has a light bitterness and something else in it I can’t place. I found this in Honolulu and I liked it. 3.8 out of 5! rustychiles (542), Mesa, Arizona, USA Nov 29, 2008 Pours a golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of corn, rice, malt. Flavor is much the same with a little floral note and a touch of bitterness. imdownthepub (4247), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Nov 27, 2008 Bottled, pasterised, 330ml from Beers of Europe, Norfolk. Gold with white head. Certainly not the worst of Pale Lagers, obviously a thin malted light beer, cereal, ricey, but there are bittering hops in there to mask it a little. Fair. tarheels86 (167), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Oct 27, 2008 Found this all over Hawai’i. Bottle. Pours clear and golden with a modest head. Lacing is not bad. Aroma is sweet and tropical with hints of pineapple but also grass, rice, and corn. Body is light. Mouthfeel is watery. Fairly typical foreign pale lager but is very smooth, drinkable, and gets +1 pt for the hot French Polynesian chick on the label. For some reason, the Hinano girl has a cult following in Hawai’i. Look for her on mud flaps, bumper stickers, and keychains. oldrtybastrd (1793), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Oct 24, 2008 Pours a golden yellow. Aromas of grass, malts, and a touch of citrus. Flavor is grainy with a touch of hops. Still better than most american pale lagers.
