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.

Bottle at GBBF 08. Clear gold, thin off white head. Slightly fruity lager. It?s ok, the fruit is ok. Not bad, bit of fart on the end.

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.

Bottle. Pretty amber with an inch of soft white head. Smells of orange... really, orange, not grapefruit or pine. Flavors of orange, hops, brown malts. Finishes with a bitter orange peel. If this is a "Hawaiian" style, I’d like to try more... because it’s good.
