Review: Maui Hard Seltzer Mix Pack
Maui Hard Seltzer was first released January 2020 by Maui Brewing Company, the largest craft brewery in Hawaii. The Maui Brewing Company was opened by Founder and CEO Garrett Marrero January 2005. They produce over a dozen beers including 8 year round beers. That list includes Bikini Blonde Lager, Big Swell IPA, Pineapple Mana Wheat, Coconut Hiwa Porter, and Pau Hana Pilsner. Maui Hard Seltzer was exclusively made in Hawaii until recently, when to meet demand they partnered with Sleeping Giant Brewing Company in Denver Colorado to produce and can the same recipe Maui Hard Seltzer sold in the mainland. Maui Hard Seltzer is still produced in Hawaii to meet demand in Hawaii. Maui Hard Seltzer is sold in individual flavor packs and a 4 flavor 12 can mix pack.
Maui Citrus Hard Seltzer: The aroma leads with sliced Key Lime. The key lime entry is balanced by creamy seltzer. Lemon arrives at the midpoint building to a tart citrus peak. It fades with foamy seltzer and finishes with tangy key lime, creamy seltzer, and mild carbon seltzer taste.
Grade: A-
Maui Pog Hard Seltzer: The aroma leads with passion fruit and orange. Guava follows. The tropical fruit entry includes notes of passion fruit and orange. Guava arrives at the midpoint. It fades with pineapple, banana, and guava finishing with creamy seltzer, juicy orange, and tropical fruit taste. Most multiple flavor seltzers taste oversweet as they try to cram multiple fruit flavors in one 12 once can. This POG flavored hard seltzer will be hard to beat.
Grade: A
Maui Acai Hard Seltzer: The aroma leads with raspberry. Chocolate follows. The sweet raspberry and creamy chocolate entry builds to a tart raspberry and creamy seltzer peak. It fades with smooth chocolate and finishes with foamy seltzer and sour redberry, orange, and lemon.
Grade: A-
Maui Dragon Fruit Hard Seltzer: The aroma leads with fresh dragon fruit with notes of pear, crisp apple, and watermelon. The sweet pear and watermelon entry builds to a tart kiwi peak. It fades with creamy seltzer banana, and mango, and finishes with sour citrus, and fresh pear.
Grade: A
The Bottom Line: All four Maui Hard Seltzer flavors have a real seltzer feel without a lot of carbon seltzer after taste. The flavors are natural, flavorful, and creamy without the boost of sweetener so many seltzer have. If you are curious as to what dragon fruit, and acai taste like, or what POG should taste like, do yourself a favor and pick up a 12 pack mix pack of Maui Hard Seltzer.
