Mai Time Light
Kona Brewing Co.

L: Pours a bright orange with a foamy white head and some lacing on the glass.

S: Strong orange and lemon lime in the aroma with notes of malt. Very orangy and tropical

T: Strong orange and tropical lemon lime with some malt and that aftertaste that seems to come in all light beers

F: Smooth and easy drinking

O: This is a enjoyable beer, just don't enjoy the light aspects of it.

The aroma is sweet with tropical fruit and mixed grains. The appearance is golden with a small head. The taste is not as sweet or fruity as I was expecting. It tastes nothing like a wheat beer. It is more like a flavored adjunct lager. The palate is thin. Overall this is not a winner for me, I'm not a fan of the taste.

 

 

I picked this one up as part of a mix-pack. It pours a light golden color with a fizzy white head. The aroma is fruity...lime, orange peel, and a grassy note. The taste has some mild fruitiness, and is balanced. Watery and quite light in body. There really isn't much to this beer other than the fruit notes. Forgettable.

The beer has a nice light balance of tropical fruit and a mild tart that is not
Overpowering. It pour a hazy hay color beer with a sticky white head. For the real hot days

 

Smells alright, tastes alright, but that aftertaste is so grossly bitter it makes it almost undrinkable. It was quite the surprise, since the first initial taste is like "wow this is great" to "oh my god why is the aftertaste so bad I can't stand it". Needless to say, I'm glad this variety pack only had 3 of these.

 

 

 

I really liked this more than I expected I would...

...It has a great look of bright orange with frothy white head, no staying power. The smell was the most outstanding feature - your nose is sweetly assailed by oranges and peaches and it is so delicious. Mouthfeel is well-carbonated, not detracting and crisp. The sweet flavoring in the nose did not translate to the tongue - the citrus flavor just didn't blend well with the wheaty base of the beer. Overall, it was still a very surprisingly good beer - sessionable - which I will get some to do real soon...

A fruity smell prevails from the pale thin laced pour. Nothing dramatic in the mouthfeel or flavor which is tropic fruit. This is a refreshing wheat based brew that would be great on a beach or by a pool in warm weather. Very Hawaiian.

 

Presentation: 12 oz can poured into a pint glass

Look: rich golden color. Foggy appearance. Moderate head which evaporates rather quickly. Decent carbonation.

Smell: primary aromas are apple, citrus, pineapple, cherry, and strawberry. Almost has a faint cinnamon aroma too. Definitely an intriguing smell.

Taste: primary flavors are citrus, pineapple, and wheat. Has a crisp flowery aftertaste. I was expecting more prominent flavors based on the distinct smell. The taste is somewhat underwhelming.

Feel: light and foamy mouthfeel. Nothing remarkable about this.

Overall: it is a nice looking beer with vivid aromas. The unique smell is really what stands out in my opinion. The taste is somewhat disappointing based on how appealing it smells. I was expecting a more pronounced taste. I would recommend this beer if you’re looking for something light, and highly drinkable with wonderful aromas.
