Honu Beer

I rated this beer higher than others because I found its purpose in my training routine. I prefer a fresh brewed hefa, but that is just too thick for what is needed after a long workout. I stay away from the bitter Coors/Bud/Miller options and find this beer to offer a nice taste without being too light or too bitter or too heavy.

Bland lager aroma that suggests a fairly large alcohol content. However, the nose is not so great. Reminds me of the unrefined aromas of some Russian lagers. Clear pale gold in color with a small white head. Good visible carbonation. I figured this would be a blah beer and it is exactly what I thought it would be. The fact that it is sold in clear glass bottles and marketed in the sunny state of Hawaii is a combination that doesn’t make sense. I expected more out of Pyramid and the turtles deserved better.

Pours very light yellow with a drop of green in it. Head is small and dissipating. Little aroma. Flavor is not as sweet as I thought based on ratings below. Kind of had a chlorine/pool flavor to it with a grainy finish. Avoid.

Bottled(330ml). -pale yellow, too sweet and too watery, sweet and grainy taste, skunky nose

I didn’t smell much when it was poured. Lightly colored wth a little head. It had a sweet/grainy taste that finished strangely; not sure how to explain the aftertaste.
