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.

Pours a crystal clear pale gold color with a small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Sweet pale malts aroma. Simple, sweet pale malts flavor to match the nose and some grain. Very crisp mouthfeel. Light body. A little watery. Very generic macro profile but very clean and refreshing. No bitterness.

Can from Rudat. Floral nose with 🥥 and 🍍 in the back. The beer starts floral fruity perfumed. Easy to drink with some sticky hops and some how artificial 🥥-🍍 aroma. The aftertaste is very dry, moderate bitterness with more 🥥 and a bit 🍍 there, but all only aroma - no taste of real juice.

The Aromas are mixed fruit with some wheat malt. Flavors are slightly more sweet than bitter with some tartness. Also some floral and mineral flavors. Not my favorite tasting beer but passable.
