Bottle from GBBF 08. Amber, thick beige head. As an Englishman, how can you have a session beer that’s 6%? Seriously, if I lived in America, I’d last, what 18 months, maybe 2 years before I’d die. I couldn’t sit in a pub for 3-4 hours drinking pints of this, I’d be a mess. Yet it is very drinkable. Not the greatest pale ale unfortunately, but similar to that style. Bit of raspberry fruit flavour. Slightly sweet malt and slightly sweet grapefruit hop. Some sherbert on end, but not really bitter. In fact I now realise I confuse big hops with proper bitterness. Like many, it improves when it’s slightly warmer, than fridge termperature. The malts come more alive. The malt is a little too sweet, ok hop, but a little too sweet overall.

Bottle. Pours a copper amber color with a small frothy white head. Not much on the nose but corn malt. The taste is a caramel malt with a bitter finish. A good session brew but nothing special with this one.

Bottle at GBBF 08. Gold, lasting off white head. Some passionfruit. Decent fullness in mouth. It’s not really a wheat beer, more a passionfruit flavoured pale ale.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow golden color with small frothy white head. The aroma is tart wheat and passion fruit. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a sour fruit and a sweet finish. Not too much going on with this fruit beer from kona.
