Hawaiian Shirt Party
The Brewing Projekt

Pours a Tang-looking orange with a thin head. Aroma is pineapple and tangerines with generous orange. Taste is guava and pineapple juice. The body is moderate, less sour than it is sweet. Well worth the try. A nice summer drink!

I am sharing a can with this beer with my Pucks For Autism hockey teammates in Venron Hills, IL. It poured an hazy reddish with virtually no head and no lace. The scent had berry and fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with light berry tart malt base with mixed fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

 

If you're having trouble deciding between a summer beer and a tiki cocktail, try this. Add tiny umbrella, if available.

Constructive review: The first one I poured looked a little concerning, i.e., a juicy cocktail. The smell captures all the fruits and coconut promised on the label. I'm not often a fruit beer lady, but this is so unique that it blew me away. The mouth feel matches the flavor perfectly. It's just a really fun beer, hence the name.

It is very sweet and potent. And I agree the coconut is a little strong.

But we all need more reasons to tiki together this year! (Socially distanced until it's safe for everyone)

Brewing Projekt Hawaiian Shirt Party Tiki Sour, 9% ABV. Pours slightly hazy orange with a two-finger white head that left some lacing. Nose is mango and pineapple with coconut hiding in the background, taste follows, moderately sweet, slightly tart. Excellent mouthfeel if slightly over-carbonated. Overall excellent to near-outstanding.

Tasted in a Rastal Teku from a one pint can on September 27, 2020.

Taste is similar to Tiki cocktail, super sweet lactose with tropical fruit and a warm fuzzy finish:)-

Opaque muted gold with a thin white ring, doesn't really spark the imagination. Aromas of coconut atop a bed of pineapple, sweet orange and mango. Tastes like a malibu sunset without the cherry sweetness, very tropical and sweet without being sugary. Goes down stupid easy, no sign of abv, tropical and sweet verging on syrupy in feel. Solid mocktail beer for late summer. The wife liked it

Poured from a pint can into a tulip.

Pours apricot gold and hazy--nearly cloudy, with a decent head It doesn't stay long but the lacing is excellent.

Aromas of pineapple, coconut, and mango are all present. Hints of acidity detectable.

The brew hits the tip of the tongue with pineapple, mango, mandarin orange, and coconut. Fairly sweet, it gives way to some welcome tartness in midstream, along with a more sour blood-orange flavor. It closes with some well-hidden but present booze. The coconut is pretty strong. Not overwhelming but...

Medium bodied, the carbonation is decent but restrained, leading to a more creamy slick feel--and that's not necessarily bad, just a bit unexpected. The ABV provides a bit of a drying finish

An interesting sweeter take on a wild ale, with a flavor profile I hadn't had in this style. The coconut is strong enough to be a distraction. But for that, I may have rated this one much higher--the other attributes are solid.
