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.

12 oz. can from Total Wine - Daytona Beach, FL. Pours a clear gold color with an off-white head and good retention. Light lacing. Strong citrus aroma. Coconut flavor up front with a pineapple and grapefruit pale ale finish. Hoppier than I expected. Semi slick mouthfeel. The flavors aren't blending very well. Disappointing.

355ml can. Opalescent, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, hlaf-way lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Plain, bitter hoppy Pilsener aroma in the beginning, later sweet-ish, artificially fruity, hints of coconut, passion fruit and strawberry, pineapple; the later, the more coconut dominated. Taste is sweet, artificially fruity, notes of coconut, initial hints of strawberry switch to passion fruit and pineapple with time, the predominance of coconut flavours increases. Quite artificial, very nice creamy palate though.

(Draught at Bull & Bear, Stockholm, 14 Jan 2020) Pale amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, floral hops and a touch of strawberries. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of crsip-bread, citrus, tropical fruit, strawberries and a balanced floral bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.
