On tap at Maui Brewing - Waikiki, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma reveals toasted bready malt and a touch of woodiness. Flavour is sharp, with toasted bready malt, seltzery notes, and strange hoppy bitterness. A bit too grainy and gritty. It's alright.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear mahogany color with a thick khaki head and great retention. Fair lacing. Piney hops aroma. The flavor is also mostly piney hops with very little malt flavor, a little caramel, and a soft bitter finish. I'm not getting any tropical fruits. Tastes more like a pale ale to me. Medium carbonation and medium body.

backlog from 2019. Reddish amber pour. The aroma is of toasted caramel malt. The flavor is on the sweet side with toasted caramel and mild hops bitterness. It's medium bodied.

Can. A- Malty, white pepper, A- Dark red copper color, clear color, off white color. T- Malty, black pepper, subtle wood, caramel, toast. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish. O- Haven't had a decent amber ale in some time. This one despite being well past the best by date hit the spot. Not something I want to sit down and crush but it was a nice break from all the heavy stuff I've had lately. Didn't love it but nice change of pace.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours ruddy copper with a whitish head. Med body. Flavor is mildly roasty malt in an amber way. It’s somewhat fruity and a bit spicy. It certainly does not have an annoying chocolate aspect I find in some ambers. Fairly good.
