HINANO GOLD, « A Rich And Subtle Taste »
This special beer has been launched for the 100th anniversary of the Brasserie de Tahiti.
It is brewed with different malts, some roasted, that give its golden hue- and also where its name comes from.
The selection of hops and the best yeast gives it a light aromatic bitterness as well as a fruity scent, which is the result of fermentation in horizontal tanks. The time of maturation will give it its final shine and clarity.
Hinano gold is a special beer at 6% of alcohol per volume and is available in bottles or cans of 33cl.

The youngest beer in Hinano’s range apparently, made for the 100th anniversary of the Tahiti brewery in 2014. Thanks to tderoeck for sharing the can. Mousy, egg-white, thick but unstable head, lightly hazy ‘old gold’ robe. Rather weird aroma: bath foam and shampoo, sweet cereals, canned corn, rubber. Sweetish-grainy onset, very slick, quite strong carb, metallic aspects, thin cereally body with that weird soapiness still lingering, ending a tad plastic- and iron-like with no hoppiness to speak of. Even worse than the regular Hinano I had years ago, with that shampoo-like element making it even more ‘artificial’ than it already is - needless to say there is nothing rich nor subtle about it.

19/X/19 - 33cl can from a trade, shared @ Wim VL's Stoofvlees Tasting, BB: 16/X/19 - (2019-1755) Thanks to Rubin77 for sharing the trade!
Clear orange blond beer, big fizzy aery white head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: sweet and malty, bit sugary impression, some caramel, soapy, floral touch. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sweet start, metallic, sugary corn, pretty bad. Aftertaste: more corn, sweet, hint of vanilla, pretty metallic finish. Not a very good beer.

Can shared by Rotin77. Lots of burning alcohol, maybe slightly drawn out by high carbonation. Corny, syrupy, not much more. Hard to drink, stinging, burning, ugh.

Odd to see that this beer hasn’t been rated more, a relatively easy find at the grocery store near my hotel in Tahiti. Clear golden coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of fresh malt and hops, alcohol, light metal, a touch of grain, some bread and a little corn. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich malt and floral flavour at first with grain, honey, light hops, dry grass and a touch of metal at the tail end. Aftertaste shows some dryness, a bit of the fresh malt and grass and a little metal as well, with the alcohol (the highest of the three Hinano beers that i’ve seen thus far) pretty well hidden. Overall, not a horrible option, not something I’d choose over American beers that I’d find in any store in america, but at least an option here in French Polynesia. Available in cans and bottles, I opted for a 33 cL can for 240 XPF from the Super U grocery store near Le Meridien Hotel in Tahiti, French Polynesia purchased earlier in the day on 14-August-2016 sampled in my hotel looking out over Moorea in French Polynesia on 14-August-2016.
