This was an excellent beer! Had it on tap at the Royal Kona on the big island. I am quite surprised that this has not scored better. it was a very flavorful malty brew with an perfect reddish color. Extremely refreshing and very drinkable either at a hot Kona afternoon or at a perfect red sunset!

22oz bottle. Amber, very little head. Roma comes out w/ carmel malt, then shows some roast, maybe some toffee...nutty doughy carmel...Fair overall. Like the Mehana, the finish seems tainted...slighty papery or earthy...maybe it is the water???I warm up to it as it warms...its alright! offering a fairly deep malt base. So far the best & maltiest HI beer i’ve had. Body is done right as well...Forget my questions...this is a nice maltster!

Aroma is doughy and grainy; heavy caramel background; citric hopping with a well balanced palate; not bad at all.

On tap at Honolulu Int’l airport. Poured a clear light amber with a medium tan head. Mild hop aroma. Quite a hoppy little pale with a light citrus flavor. Finishes crisp and clean with light dryness. Very nice.

Bottle. Burnt molasses aroma. Hazy copper body. No visible carbonation. Off-white head; somewhat lasting but erodes fairly quickly. Good lace. Caramel aspect with hops. On draught is better but this is still good. Draught has hoppier aspect. Appropriately, I enjoyed it at sunset in Hawaii. Sweet. Undercabonated in bottle. This is clearly a beer that is better on draught than in bottle. I took that into account with this rating.
