Today my friends helped me move into my new apartment. Taking a break, we had pizza from Ledo Pizza and beer (a six-pack of this beer and a six-pack of Allagash Tripel Ale).

I wrote the following: "Longboard Island Lager. Yeah tasty. MS and JP like it. JP thought it was very drinkable. There's a slight bitterness, but it's okay."
I wrote the following on Facebook: "Easy to drink."


On a different note, the bottle caps have a Hawaiian word together with it's English translation. We had the following:
1) KÂMAU - Cheers*
2) WAI - Water
3) OLA - Life
4) PAKÎ - Splash
5) KÎHÂ - Burp

*I believe this is my bottle cap, because my bottle opener does minimal damage and this cap has a lack of damage to the surface.

I write: "Longboard Island Lager. It's a basic beer with a decent amount of carbonation. I pick up on some sweetness, but mostly I'd place it slightly above a Heineken." 4:20AM ET
