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.

6er from the lcbo. Clear orange pour with a small white head. Aroma is orange zest, grapefruit, hints of guava and light passionfruit, with a bit of skunk. Mouth feel is great, with a solid carb. Finish is medium to highly bittrr, strong orange zest and guava in the end. Nice bitter, crisp, fruity session ipa.

On tap at the loose moose in Toronto. Clear golden pour, small white head. Typical aroma, some grains, grass hops, light apple, slightly musty actually. Standard mouth feel and carb. Finish has almost no bitterness, dry, and not much going on. Some light malts, meh.

clear golden color.
aroma of sour apple cider, and cheap white wine.
Flavour is slightly sour, and odd. I dont taste passionfruit, its a sour wheat flavour, wow, this is odd. Its a quenching summer beer, but an odd one.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine.Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro non è invadente. La forza gustativa è normale e la permanenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, erbaceo e agrumi.

La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido appare velato. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine medio-fini. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, pompelmo, arancia amara, ananas, mango e frutto della passione.

Bottle at the hotel, Reykjavik. Aroma of malt, caramel, sweet fruits, hoppy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate bittersweet finish. Very malty, not a great APA.

Bottle at Billabong, Wien. Aroma of palt malts, grain, citrus notes, hint of hops. Flavour is moderately bitter. It went down well after a day of walking in a warm climate, which I guess is the kind of situation this beer was brewed for.
