Pretty hazy, cloudy golden and light orange coloured body with a pretty thinnish pure white head that fades quickly and barely covers the top after a few seconds. Aroma of fresh lime zest and a little bit of lilikoi here along with a bigger hit of grainy malts and some light bitterness from the hops, in the nose, at least. Light-bodied; Strong limey and very citrusey flavour at first with a tiny bit of lilikoi and even a touch of guava it seems like, without any tart notes at all and not really much sweetness from lactose, this just seems limey and malty with a bit of hops noticeable at the end. Aftertaste shows some lime zest pungency here with a dash of flowers and grainy malts and a softer, herbal bite with finally some hop bitterness coming through on the finish. Overall, a decent enough, zesty and very limey beer with some actual bitterness, a decent enough balance, but not too much sugars or lactose here to make this even seem like a 'milkshake' at all, but it is crisp and refreshing, perhaps even more so if I were drinking this in Hawai`i. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Tamura's Fine Wine in Kihei, Maui, Hawai`i on 17-April-2022 for US$11,99/six pack a few minutes before leaving the island the last time I was there, and now sampling this less than a year later, a few hours before heading back to Maui on 01-April-2023 in my hotel room here in Linthicum Heights (BWI), Maryland. 7,3,7,2,13 Rating from second can: S: lime zest - tropical - grassy A: hazy golden - thick head T: rich - wheatie - fresh lime juice P: creamy - oats - drying O: flavourful - refreshing - true-to-name  12 ounce can - Tamura's Fine Wines: Kihei, Maui, Hawai`i - purchased: 17-April-2022 - us$11,99/six pack - sampled: 16-August-2023 8,4,8,4,16
