Commercial Description:
Big Wave is a light golden ale with a subtle fruitiness and delicate hop aroma. A smooth, easy drinking refreshing ale. The lightly roasted honey malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer and also gives a slight sweetness that is balanced out by our special blend of hops.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Big Island.....Bottle from the ABC Store. Pours a dark yellow, looks like apple cider. Slightly musty aroma and grainy. Taste is light- tropical fruits, berries, malts, with minimal hops. The fruit flavor is present in every sip- maybe these tropical breezes are affecting my taste buds. Overall it’s good, a couple more hops for balance against the sweetness would be nice. Aloha.

Bottle @ Jens C.G. Pours clear golden with a small bubbly off white head. Nose is sweet malty. Toffee and dust. Medium bodied. Lack of hops. Boring and average.

My 1st night at Turtle bay I got a six of this in the Resort store for $15. Glad I traded a few out for a Pale and acouple Lagers. Average, I might like Molsen better.

Honolulu, Hi. - Airport brewpub - on draft. Neutral aroma, slightly murky, dark golden pour. Flavor has some sweet honey accents, some buttery notes and just a hint of citrus. Clean, even mouthfeel - refreshing. Good companion to the beef au jus sandwich I had.

Pours clear golden-amber, with a thin white head, very fine lasting lacing. Banana, pineapple, toffee, bread, earthy, and citrus aromas. Medium-light body, smooth and mildly dry. Mild mannered toffee and biscuit flavors up front, with some citrus and earthy bohemian hops, mild bitter aftertaste. Overall, well-balanced and drinkable.

Had this at the Kona brewpub following a tour of the place while vacationing in Hawaii. This wasn’t one of their better beers, but it was just fine.

From the tap poured golden with a fair amount of head. Malty flavor with a lingering aftertaste.
