Description
Aloha. That’s how most conversations begin here. It’s also how many of them end. But “Aloha” doesn’t just mean hello and goodbye and love and welcome. It means more than a word can express. It’s a feeling. A way of life. “Aloha” is the idea that we are all connected to everyone and everything around us and that true joy is found in respecting this connection. And it’s in this aloha spirit that the Kona Brewing Company was founded back in 1994 by Cameron Healy and his son Spoon Khalsa. They combined their love of Hawaii and its pristine, natural beauty with their fondness for delicious, local brews, and lucky for us, their dream lives on more than 20 years later.

So try a few of them. And join us in our pursuit of aloha.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours brassy gold with a substantial white head. Aroma seems pineapple. Near med body. LIghtly juicy - a bit like cider. Flavor could be pineapple/lime but green guava might fit. Drinkable.

Bottle in Werksviertel. Light, citrus, perfume. Full, a bit juicy, creamy. A tad short and thin, but very much drinkable.

Bottle at the Werksviertel Poke place. Perfumed citrus hops, clean, medium light mellow body, light lychee stickiness on the palate. Classic.

Bottle shared before (hopefully) dancing. Hay, floral, flowery. Crisp, actually not that bad. It is drinkable, though a tad sweet.
