Rating: 4/5
Notes: Almost a bit too drinkable for a 9.1%’er 🙂 This will get ya if you don’t watch out. Very tasty with lots of orange flavor and not too much sweetness. From the can: “Our love’s bud goes full bloom when the city lights fade away, and we can make out the stars that create the great Cheeky in the sky”. ” Drink while smiling”
Happy New Year!

Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: A great, above average, pale ale with some hoppy and great flavor. Great to have a solid, local beer from Hawaii that my buddy brought back with him. I hear a lot of good things about the brew scene in Hawaii so makes me happy to try a solid brew from there. Looking forward to trying more from Koholā.
