One off can from De Bierkoning. Pours a hazy orange yellow colour and a small white-ish head. Aroma's: a bit weird, vegetal, artificial, coconut, fruity. Retronasal there's cocos, wheat, vegetal. Flavour is very light sweet with a hint of bitter. Light bodied. Light bitter finish. The idea of Weizen with cocos seemed attractive, but the result was disappointing.

Super crisp and clear golden coloured body with a very thin perfectly white head that tops the beer nicely, but only for a few seconds before it fades to just about nothing after a few seconds. Aroma of light grain and rice with a dash of flowers with some perfume as well without much else, aside from some lemons and citrus fruits. Light-bodied; Strong crisp grainy and deep malt notes show up first with a touch of lemons and super mild citrus fruits with some light sweetness behind and a touch of crackers and softer cereals as well. Aftertaste shows some light crackers and biscuits with a lot of dryness and citrus fruits without much else, but some softer sweetness on the end without much else at all. Overall, decent at best with some grassy and citrus notes, but aside from those, there isn't much going on at all, but this of course, was still nice to sample here on the island. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pour on draught at Pint & Cork in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii on 15-April-2022 for US$5,00 (happy hour) sampled with my wife and three kids while eating lunch on Maui, Hawaii for Spring Break, 2022.

Can from a Mexican restaurant in Lihue on Kauai. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a big, foamy, white head. The nose is orange peel, resin, caramel, and spruce. Sweet and malty, with a bright, aggressive bitterness. Medium body, with a sharp, sticky feel. Quality and quite hoppy.

12 oz. can at Kukui's, and consumed from a plastic cup in a lounge chair on Kalapaki Beach. Pours an unclear, orange color, with a medium, frothy, white head. The nose is coconut water, green banana, vanilla, and almonds. Sweet and yeasty, with a light tang. Light body, with a creamy, lightly acidic palate. This is a fun and refreshing beer.

Backlog from 2019. Pours a hazy burnt orange color. It’s sweet with toasty malt and spicy yeast. Coconut? Not really getting that. It’s alright though.

Can from Hawaii: pours lightly hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is a weird coconut notes and banana and spicy. Taste seems to almost have a little bit of booze. Otherwise a moderately sweet and occasionally synthetic coconut taste. Meh.
