Maui Brewing Co. Mana Wheat

I was sent two cans of Mana Wheat a while ago and realized I should probably finish the second one. lthough it's been in the fridge the whole time, it's still better to drink hefeweizens sooner rather than later. Mana Wheat is brewed with pineapples.

I'll admit I wasn't super impressed by the first can I opened. It was decent, but I didn't really get any pineapple. This time, however, was much better. Big pineapple nose. Not bitter like from hops, but actual fruit. Starts with pineapple, continues with pineapple, ends with a wheat finish. Very enjoyable and I imagine quite great on a hot summer day.

Maui Brewing Co. CoCoNut Porter

I got a can of Maui CoCoNut Porter in a trade as an extra a while back and boy am I glad he included it.

Slightly roasty nose with a lot of chocolate notes. Very inviting aroma. Initially a little bit of creamy roast, followed by some almost milky sweetness. Finished a little sweet as well. The toasted coconut adds some slight vanilla along with the milkiness and some sweetness, almost like lactose in a milk stout. Really interesting porter and quite good. The best part is the coconut flavors never taste like Malibu or anything like that and works really well with the roastiness of the porter.  Makes me wonder what a milk porter would taste like.
