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.

355ml can. Pours a clear gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild, sweet aroma of toasted caramel malt, honey, pineapple and light lemon rind. Sweet flavour of toasted caramel malt, lemon rind, orange pith and pineapple in a crisp, dry, mild bitter, hoppy finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and easy to put back. Not bad.
