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.

als Abverkaufsware günstig bekommen. Ein spritziges Lager 🏄, das mit extra viel fruchtigen Hopfen gebraut wurde. So ist es tatsächlich intensiv fruchtig nach tropischen Früchten 🍉🥭🍍🍋‍🟩, was es etwas abstrus aber als Urlaubsbier wirklich schön macht. Vielleicht kein Top-Aromenbier, aber eine Top Südsee-Erfrischung.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized off-whie head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel malts, some spruce, pine and mild resiny tones. Flavour is caramel, resin, some floral, fruity tones with a quite nice bitter bite to it. A bit strong on the caramel, but otherwise nice.

On tap at Kona Brewing - Hawaii Kai, pours a deep dark amber-tinged dark brown with a small tan bear. Aroma reveals toasted malt, a touch of roast, and a touch of red fruits. Flavour has a rich malt character, with medium roast, some dry earthiness, and a hint of dry cocoa. Dry, toasty and earthy. Good stuff.

On tap at Kona Brewing - Hawaii Kai, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is sweaty, with subdued earthy hops and bready malt. Flavour has a washed out earthy hop character that comes across too much as BO — the hops seems exhausted and just not vibrant enough. Not good.
