Grabbed a six pack at an ABC Store in Waikiki. Decent lager with not much of an aroma to speak of. Pretty average in the long run. I found it to be smoother on the palate than other lagers but flavor wise I found it lacking.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet malty aroma. Sweet flavor with malty and caramel notes. Ends sweet.

Poured a clear gold color with zero head. Aroma was malty. Flavor was also malty and light. Good summery beer, but not great by any means.

Pours golden-orange, no foam. Aroma just a hint skunky. Fortunately tastes a bit better than it looks and smells. A good beer, not a great one.

My first beer on visiting Hawaii. I have to say it pours out a rather simple golden color with a small white head to it. Aroma is light of sweet malts. The taste is a lot better than I expected. A fruity taste mixed in with your typical malts and hops that your average lager comes with. Just enough fruitiness to be very refreshing and satisfying. Good stuff on a hot day.
