Logs for beers from this brewery

When at the lounge, partake of its beer.
Was excited to try this on nitro. I remember thinking the Hiwa was quite roasty but this was nice, light dark chocolate notes. But my first sip had a big blob of mucousy slime that was wildly unpleasant?? Out of fairness not rating it.
Weirdly bodiless? Tastes like roast but there’s no real malt followup. Just kind of dissipates.
Light caramel brown, light nutty roast overtones. Refreshing.
A lot going on in this beer. Cinnamon, vanilla, and lactose stick out; reminds me of a big sweet Mexican chocolate stout like the Abraxas? Not sure the other ingredients computed for me (but admittedly, I have no idea what breadfruit tastes like).
Very sour, actually, and much more of a hop juice character than expected. Tastes more like a soured tropical IPA. A bit of a uric aftertaste.
Light, sweet, floral actually. Ends with a buttery cereal note. Really quite delicious.
Yeah this is nice. The coconut is not too overwhelming, it’s quite drinkable. Not too heavy.
Coffee, cola, slightly tart on the finish. Very nice.
Kolsch-like, lightly fruity, very clean. Between this and Bellevue's similar-tasting malt liquor, I feel like this style has impressed me more than its reputation would suggest.
I was really looking forward to this but it was over the top. Strong bourbon, stone fruit, prune. Harsh.
A tasty coffee stout, smooth on nitro, lightly sweet and missing the typical negative aspects of the nitro delivery.
Hazy and very much tastes like a hazy IPA; forward grapefruit flavors. Mellow finish, maybe the wheat's contribution?
Just a hint of lime on top of a nice lager. Just a touch uric, but not nearly as assertive as the Bikini Blonde. Pretty drinkable.
Roasty toasty coconut cereal taste, yum.

It sounded like it would be more dessert-like than the Flat White, but I think it's actually less - probably because it wasn't on nitro. Thick and sweet, chocolate and coconut, but finishes quite bitter. Mildly tacky in the back of the throat.
Medium-sour, funky and piney. Very much like other hopped sours I've had - beery rather than fruity, pleasantly bracing, touch of salt on the finish.
Resinous, lightly dank. Has a "macro IPA" taste that I think I've outgrown.
Lightly fruity, cloudy, yeasty flavor. I don't really know what starfruit tastes like, but this was tropical, subtle, and very pleasant. Nice finish on the night.
Folden yellow. Hoppy sheen on top of a mild coffee base. Slightly sweet, hint of vanilla. Weirdly strong bitter finish that you wouldn't expect from a nitro stout.
Tastes like the imperial coconut base, thick and coconut, maybe a tinge sweeter with a milky but only slightly coffee flavor. Not sure how they nitro'd this but it doesn't have that weird dishwatery character, instead it's just smooth, creamy and still a little bubbly.
Very sour, to the point where the basic fruit is unidentifiable other than being vaguely tropical. Possibly guava, possibly passion, a dry, clean finish.
Completely clear, unexpected for the described style. Tastes like a light, grassy pilsner that's been dry hopped generously with tropical, spicy hops. The latter is the dominant flavor, I think. I was hoping for something cloudier, and less bright.
This was not as pineappley as I thought it was going to be. It was really good. Also, it was free because they had to tap a new keg and the server decided that ten minutes was a long time for me to be lounging by the pool without a drink.
I don't know what exactly makes this a "German IPA" but the server didn't either. It was a really solid IPA though. I mean, I guess it was maltier than commonly found, but not super-unusually so.
Perfectly pleasant but not particularly memorable. Fruity, tart saison.
I had ordered a Mac Nut Brown, but they were out and I got this instead. This was something I'd had before, but still a decent beer; caramel, nutty, mild. The new brewery / restaurant is beautiful!
Hoppy dry red. Mild toasted barley flavor but the hop sheen is definitely the major flavor here. Goes down very light.
Nope. Very pithy and bitter. There are slight tropical notes but not more than other generically "tropical" IPAs. It certainly didn't make me think of POG, which is a flavor I love. This bait & switch counted bonus negative points.

I mean, you're gonna get a solid beach beer every time with this. Didn't taste metallic this time either, although it was from a can.
A pretty standard witbier, lightly flavored with some prominent white pepper / coriander notes. I felt like this was missing some acid or fruit to make this more interesting.
Buttery toasted coconut, thick bodied porter. Pretty much as enjoyable as I remember from back on Maui. Really glad to see a keg make it over to this side of the ocean.
Bready, strong bock with a harsh-ish bitter yeast finish. The coffee flavor is sweet without being creamy, and comes out very pungent.I tend to think Maui's canned beer suffers a bit, but this was worse than usual.
Can at Home
Just about as drinkable a golden lager-type that I could imagine from a can. The character is very pilsner like, distinctively bitter, but with a bready yeast character that fortunately doesn't sink into being too fruity or tangy.
Can at Home
A bit hoppy (not bitter though), mostly unremarkable
Can at Pool
Smell of coffee with a hint of coconut, same on the palate.

House beer at the Hula Grill in Ka'anapali. Glad because I regretted not trying this one at the Maui Brewpub! An amber with mild hop expression that somehow manages to be sweet and dry at the same time, probably because of the honey. The sweetness is not so much tied to a malt flavor as it is a general, creaminess... If I were going to imagine an oatmeal amber, this is pretty much what it would be.
Part of a sample flight. Less watery than at the brewpub yesterday, it was nice to have this side by side with the Bikini Blonde, to see the differences. Less sweet and more grassy with a pilsnery bitter finish. Still light on flavor, but better than last time.
Part of a sample flight. Decent, dry IPA with some significant resin in the flavor but a fairly mild finish.
On draft this is a big improvement over the cans you can get in WA. No acrid aftertaste, you get a nice smooth coconut flavor on top of a thin porter. This suffers somewhat from the memory of the awesome Imperial version of this from the brewpub, but it's still tasty.
Part of a sample flight. Wheaty, with a dry, musty fruit tartness that builds up over time in an almost savory way. The guy behind the counter tells me it's the pineapple, and it fits. A little too dank to be refreshing, but it's definitely interesting.
Part of a sample flight. Much better on draft than out of the can, which had a weird metallic aftertaste. Still on the sweet side for me, but very drinkable on a hot day.
A taster. Bikini Blonde with chipotle peppers. Surprisingly good smoke flavor and clear spiciness; even though I had it with the house jambalaya, which is quite spicy, I noticed it. However, it did make it hard to judge this beer on its own. I'd try it again, definitely.
Extremely boozy with a ton of sweet whiskey. It kind of overwhelms the rest of the flavor, which came through as a slight bit of fruit and a lot of bitterness. Claims to be an IPA at its base, but I can't say I detected any clear notes.
Oh, wow. Thick, sweet, and tons of chocolate and coconut flavor. They say the used four times the amount of the regular coconut porter, and it really comes through. Really yummy.
Fruity (apricot? grapefruit?) IPA with a good rye bite. Lots of pithy bitterness to finish, and I may be wrong but it seemed to get boozier as I went along.
Slightly watery, some tang, good malt and not much grassiness. At first taste I'd peg this as a blonde rather than a pilsner.
A sweet-malt lager with a light flavor. It could be my imagination but it sure seemed to pick up a metallic aftertaste as I went along, even from a glass. By the end it was really not working for me.
Dusty mold smell--Michael's mention of it being cola-like makes sense. Wet, round finish, almost buttery. Not a meaty brown ale.
Smells like caramel candy. Clean, thin, soda effervescence, with hints of Scottish ale wet-hay character. Solidly enjoyable.
Lots of bready, Belgian yeast on the nose and tongue combined with a peppery, exotic spice profile that works really well with the lemongrass. The strongly tart, dry finish kept me from fully enjoying the beer, though.
Smells sour, wet leaves. Soft taste but somewhat sour.
Smooth taste, the coconut is mostly (and really only) present in the coconutty sheen on the tongue but that's preferable to a beer with strong coconut flavor.
Better on both negative points from last time. Higher!
Unpleasant texture on the head, like a root bear float, and a strange acrid bite on the back end, but I like that it isn't noticeably sweet (think: bittersweet chocolate) and the coconut, while not subtle, doesn't seem tacked on. Also: I'm a sucker for coconut.
