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 an online shop. Gold amber, tiny haze and fast gone head. Nose is a bit sour with caramel reminders, flowery, apricot. Dry but still with decent body, very nice bitterness level. Not painfully bone dry as some Brut I've had, this still has body. Lemon rind and orange come through as well. Quite the tasty Brut IPA!

Can from M&S. It pours clear yellow - gold with fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, doughy white bread, biscuit, touch of custard creams, cereal, grain and hay. The taste is crisp, dryish, pale malt, toasty grain, cereal, doughy white bread, soft sweetness and a weak twist of lemon with a dry, bready finish. Average body and average carbonation. Simple, but rounded and easy-drinking.
