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

Slightly hazy orange and amber coloured body with a copper glow and a thin off-white head, about a centimetre tall. Aroma of alcohol, pine, cleanser, grain and some rubbing alcohol - quite pungent. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and very piney hops with cleanser noticeable along with some subdued earthiness. Aftertaste is a bit plain with no major flavours nor complexities - just a touch of the hops and a little earthiness, nothing really. Overall, a bit bland and not imperial nor an IPA really. Definitely worth passing over, but if you’re like me and see this as an option compared to some of the other beers here, it strikes the eye. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at (of course) ABC Stores in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii on 28-December-2015 for US$10,99 sampled a day later in my hotel room here in Waikiki on 29-December-2015 - This store was the one under the underpass, on Lewers Street between Kahlia and Helumona Roads - close to Yard House, but not the closest to the Yard House - this store has a better selection of real beers than most of the ABC Stores.

Bottle. Milk, over-ripe orange, malt, pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Golden yellow with large head. Sweet, tangy orange, caramel malt, and moderately strong grapefruit peel and pine flavor. Decent body. Not bad but not exactly a beach beer.
