Description
Lanikai Brewing Company is an Island Inspired®, authentic Hawaiian craft beer company making 100% of our brews here in Hawaii. We take our cues from premium, local, rare, and exotic ingredients grown by local farmers or foraged across the Pacific to bring you innovative, bold and flavorful beers that you will find nowhere else often utilizing Hawaiian terroir utilizing local native yeast and bacteria. Pour a nice solid head to breathe in the flowers and fruits, the same aromas carried by our gentle trade winds. It’s paradise in a bomber bottle, best shared with friends on the beach.

In addition to our Tap and Barrel tasting room in beautiful Kailua, Hawaii, Lanikai Brewing company beers can be found throughout the Hawaiian Islands including Kauai, Oahu, Maui and Big Island and are coming soon to the Pacific Northwest, Australia and Japan in early 2019.

We currently have more Tap and Barrel tasting room locations in planning as well as our Distillery all planned to launch in 2019

Pitch black color. White head. Really nice big coconut, bourbon and chocolate nose, but not too sweet or cloying. Fairly dry, tons of bourbon, chocolate and coconuts, medium carbonation. Light body. Warming finish. Mouthfeel could a bit better but love the depth.

Bottle from a local ABC store in Maui. Honey & passion fruit Saison. 12oz tumbler. Pillowy, slow moving head. Light orange/grapefruit color. Smells of unidentifiable sharp fruit & malt. Nothing grand. Sharp, fruity, bitter, odd toasted grain. Flavor isn't something I'm after. Think long enough about it & it does give you some meh fermented floral honey botanicals, but also that plastic flavor you sometimes find in mead. Thin, softly carbed & a touch too boozy. Meh.
