Hazy gold with a small white head. Sweetish, tart and vinegary with strong booziness and some fruit. Medium finish and body.

Tap at Kohola, Maui. Golden beer, small head. Aroma is malt, sweet, grain, light yeast. Taste is malt, grain, sweet, yeast, some weird aftertaste. Meh

Notes from 6/02/19. Bottle from the the ABC in Wailea, packed & settled home in BK. Had this on tap eventually, but no time for notes when your on vacation. Duvel tulip. Big foamy off-white head. Clear, dark gold honey body. Simply lathery as ever sip leaves a generous bubbly trail behind. Smells of Belgian candied sugar more then honey, malt, Cheerios, mineral water. Taste is bittersweet. Sweet honey nut Cheerios malt, Belgian-American phenols, lingering bitter greens, lingering bold citrus rind, foamy, surprisingly light body. ABV was about right, but this is quite easy. Good.

Bomber from ABC store. Pours orange gold with a white head. Aroma of yeast spice and honey. Arguably full bodied. A bit sweet with some heat. Spice fights the sweet. Heavy duty brew. Liking it.

On tap in the Hilo Burger Joint on 12th December 2022. Old gold colour, weak white head. Belgian yeast aroma and also in the taste, pretty sweet too. Liked it, real fruity flavour within the sweetness.

Hawaiian Belgian strong golden ale with honey. Very belgiany and very honey'ish indeed. Proper sweet, lots of honey. Quite boozy, especially considering the ABV, plenty of flavour, but a bit thin body. Not my style, but not bad.
