Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head, that starts off at about a centimetre tall in heigh that fades to just about nothing a few seconds later. Aroma of wheat, coriander seed, light yeast, bananas, bubble gum, some light guava and a dose of white pepper. Light to perhaps Medium-bodied; Very fresh wheat and yeast notes that show some soft sugars with a tiny bit of honey noticeable, but more of the hay and wheatie notes showing some softer coriander seed and pure yeast notes that make this very easy-drinking and still flavourful. Aftertaste shows the yeast with a little bit of unfinished sugars, some coriander seed and a touch of grasses noticeable at the end, very easy-drinking and simple with a dose of complexity from the spices and yeast notes. Overall, a nice and relatively rich beer, considering the style, while still being easy-drinking, even in the Winter of the South Pacific. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased yesterday from Champion [supermarche] in [downtown] Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia on 31-July-2019 for XPF330 sampled a day later at my hotel here in Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia.

Deep copper coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying just off-white and almost tan head. Aroma of honey (no surprise), grain, oatmeal, light earth, barley, hay, earth and a dose of yeast and a touch of peat and some unfinished sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong honey and rich malt bite at first with a touch of hay, grain, oatmeal, earth and funky cardboard malt showing through with only a dash of sweetness and grain with the honey and stale malt noticeable and a funky cardboard and peaty malt that comes through, especially at the finish. Aftertaste shows the sweetness and rich punch of the alcohol and peated malt with the slightly off-putting cardboardie malt note, especially at the end. Overall, a funky and rather deep rich malty beer with a lot of sweetness from all the honey, but pungent from the alcohol and peated malt notes with a light medicinal flavour towards the end. Not really worth trying, unless you are like me, and wanted to sample all the different offerings (no matter how bad they were) here on the islands! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Champion Supermarket here in [downtown] Papeete, French Polynesia on 31-July-2019 for XPF330, sampled a few minutes later here in Papeete, French Polynesia.

Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head, only a centimetre or so tall. Aroma of mint, lime, vodka and a touch of caster sugar - quite nice, actually, considering some of the other options. Light-bodied; Sweet flavour of limes and mint up front with a ton of citrus and grassy, fresh herbal notes with a touch of malt and body right behind, but the sweetness and sugars really come through, especially at the end with the caster sugar, brown sugar and limes at the tail end. Aftertaste shows some of the vodka and more of a distilled spirit note with some vodka and/or rum flavours, but the sweetness lasts and the mint is by far the strongest on the tail end - very nice and fragrant throughout. Overall, a surprisingly nice 'beer' with a lot of lime and mint flavours, some mellow citrus and ginger notes, but the sweetness persists with caster sugar and even some honey noticeable at the end. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Champion Grocery Store in [downtown] Papeete, French Polynesia on 31-July-2019 for 295 XPF, sampled a few minutes later in my apartment/hotel here in Papeete.

Quite deep amber and bronze coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee, light nuts, earth and a dose of very subdued and grainy hops, without much bitterness or punch. Medium-bodied; Strong malty notes with a lot of caramelised sugars and nuts that show some grassy and citrus characteristics with a dash of earth and light grain and biscuity notes, all from the malt, with a dash of yeast and a hint of the light hops that have no alpha acids. Aftertaste shows the sweetness from the caramelised sugars first and foremost with a light grainy finish and a touch of yeast, grass, hay and more malt that show that side of things way more than any hops at all. Overall, a malt-centric beer that shows a bit of hops, but not much in terms of bitterness or character. This was nice to try as it was a 'valid' attempt at a 'craft' beer, but in terms of execution, not so great. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Super U, Are, in PaoPao, Mo'orea, French Polynesia on 27-July-2019 for XPF490 sampled at my hotel room here in Mo'orea, P.F. on 28-July-2019 while experiencing Winter in Paradise.

Clear orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: malty, caramel, bit soapy, floral, not a proper ipa. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft bitterness in the start, bit fruity, some citrus, bit oxidized, orange peel, malty, some caramel. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, citrus touch, floral, bit grassy, malty, grains, cow fodder. Not the worst ipa, considering where it comes from. :p Probably a huge eye-opener for the local people in Tahiti. Or maybe they consider it an abomination to beer. :p
