Can from Kaldi. Hey, it's not so bad, but it's not so interesting, but what did I expect for the cheap price and the fact that I got it from a coffee shop. Aroma is lightly hoppy, little bit of citrus, more malty. And smells a bit of beans! Taste is malt driven again, lacks a bit of sparkle. Light caramel, light citrus, light all round. Bit too sweet for me.

Pours amber, relatively clear and not very foamy. Aroma biscuity and with some caramel character. Tastes sweetish, bit of sugary fruits there as well, besides loads of more caramel. Quite quick finish, just slight burnt sugar floating around in the linger. Overall, simple non pretentious pale ale, drinkable - yes, interesting - no.

Can from Liquor Mountain., Rather stale nose of caramel, light mineral and citrus hops. Hazy orange-amber with lace. Mineral, spicy hop, caramel, medium malt. A rather plain, boring pale ale but inoffensive.

Not sure what it looks like but so estry and so sweet and cloying, what it looks like is pretty much irrelevant. Full body. A mess.

Can from Natural Lawson. Aroma of old ale yeast, some fruit and caramel. Very sweet with a slight bit of staleness on the palate. Very malt-forward with a large amount of fruity ale-like yeast on the palate. Light and kinda weird. Not good.

Purchased at some random grocery store in Honolulu, HI; enjoyed on my last day of vacation which kind of bums me out. Appearance is a cloudy darkish gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is not very good, mostly bready malt, smells like a mass produced lager. Taste is also not very good, not many flavors that I can pick out and it tastes like a generic beer. Not a fan.

A can from Kaldi Coffee for about 220yen which is pretty good. The can has a cool simple design listing HPA which someone told me was short for Hawaiian Pale Ale. A dark yellow pour with a crazy thick head of foam with staying power. The aroma is fruity, slightly spicy with lots of fruity ale ester notes. The flavor is caramel malts with a soft bitter finish. Thick full mouthfeel which is nice. It is a decent enough beer, though it isn’t all that much like a pale ale as it lacks any real bitterness. More like a regular ale, sweet not so cloying, ok.

Bottle. Pours hazy copper amber with off white head. Nose/taste of apple skin, rice cakes, malt and fruity esters. Finishes spice/herb. Lighter body.

Nice slightly hazy amber coloured body with more of a copper hue than anything else and a thin, half a centimetre thick off-white head. Aroma of funky malt, rice, alcohol, hop pellets and some junky sugars. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic notes up front with some odd sweetness behind from apricots with a little malt behind and a bad bitterness (not from hops) at the tail end. Aftertaste is bland when good and bitter and off-tasting when bad - not a great finish at all. Overall, a pretty bad beer actually, much worse than expected and not any better than most junky lagers, let alone any decent craft ale. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Olive Tree Market Place in San Diego, California on 05-May-2012 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 01-June-2012 and would advise anyone against buying or paying for this at all.
