Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Somewhat hazy yellow, pineapple juice color. A bright white head that was small and didnt have much retention or leave much lacing. A fresh smelling aroma of some grain and wheat. It smelled a bit citrusy, like lemon. Some spices floating around in there. Some medium ranges of malt. The breadiness and wheat comes through more as it warms. Th
Ubiquitous on Oahu, but not standout in any way. This is more of the pale lager standard for the locals that want to support a local brewery without stepping too far away from Bud. Definitely nothing offensive here, but nothing particularity attractive either.
This was pretty lousy. Poured clear light yellow. Taste watery and unbalanced sweet.
