I was looking forward to this special limited release, Doppel Shot Double Bock, and was definitely not disappointed. Wow, very nice on all levels. The Maui coffee was subtle but there in the right proportion. The color was a deep amber and impressive both in body and head. The only bad thing is that it […]

Found a limited edition from Maui Brewing Co yesterday in town. I had been waiting for this and one other promised from them. This 6 pack was twelve bucks so it is not a cheap brew. It is however a good brew in the German tradition. First taste is very hoppy and reminds me of […]

Mana Wheat
Now, this is an interesting brew, the likes of which I have never tried! Pineapple, can you believe that? Maui Brewing Co. has been a favorite of mine since I first tried the Coconut Porter and the Bikini Lager. Both of those were exceptional brews. I just found this one yesterday and didn’t know what […]
Bikini Blonde Lager
It is harder and takes longer to brew a good lager. If you make a little mistake and get the taste a little off, you can’t hide it with more hops and bitterness like with ales. I wasn’t kind with my first review of an Island Lager. Now I can be, with this one from […]
