      Package: bottled
      Place: Kamuela Liquor Store, Kamuela HI
      Score: 12 points
      Overall Impression (2½)
      Amber, high carbonation and head. Malty aroma, very slightly skunked. Bitter, big hop flavor. OK bitter finish. Light body...a bigger mouthfeel would make this a really good beer.
