Weird but true: This is from Hawaii. And second weird thing (or not) is that this craft beer is in a can. Well, there is a good explanation for it. Cans reduce damage done by light (either sun or artificial) and the beer stays secure inside the can - risk of toxication is significantly lower than in bottles with crown caps. There are also good points by the Maui Brewing written in can: Cans are lighter, chill quicker (if thats needed) and can be moved and drank more easily in challenging environments as beaches. Aluminum is also the most recycled material - at least in USA, where this can is from. I'm gonna recycle this can with bottles, unless the machines wont take it, because of the unknown barcode...this was bought from Scottish webstore of BrewDog and Finnish bottle/can returning/recycling system is based on barcodes. But, something about beer too :) This is very noticeably IPA. Aroma is wonderfully hoppy and so is the taste. Bitter and dry, I like it. There is not any metallic side tastes, which are common in industrial piss lagers sold in cans, so maybe the reason they are many times metallic, is because they are so watery piss, and water can be quite metallic at times.
So, this is a nice experience. Great craftbeer can be made in exotic places like Hawaii and they can be placed and sold in cans, and transported in good condition across the world. Good work guys!
**** Great
