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.

Got this surprize bottle from Martin, thanks dude. I thot I had it befor ebut now I see its a new beer. Dranlf right from the bottle, the taste is certainly IPA. Its also got a little carbonation for a change. Goes down fairly easy for an IPA, you know, almost the gag reflex but not. Anyway, this is a terribly on style IPA and what else can be said?

12 ounce bottle, 7/5/20. To celebrate 7/4 I'm drinking through the states.... OH, WI, MI, NY, CA, CO, VA, IL, and now HI. Not sure how much longer I can keep this going. Hazy gold, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of strong starfruit and tropical fruit, pale malt. Taste is tropical fruit, citrus, pale malt. Medium bodied, low to moderate bitterness. The orange gets kinda buried, but overall, pretty decent,
