Jul 2, 2006 Pours a golden color with a thin, fizzy, white head. Aroma is of yeast, caramel, and some sweet malts. Nothing too complex. Flavor was the same with yeast, caramel, and some slight earthy tones. This brew was ok but I would never go out searching for it.

May 18, 2006 I was mostly disappointed to hear that Kona brews all of the bottled product and most of the draft in Oregon, I thought I was buying Hawaiian Local Beer, the "Big Wave" was an okay beer, decent aroma, but the sharp bite hit hard, and left me with a bitter finish.

Mar 18, 2006 Good when consumed on tap and bottled, a warm, golden color, kind of fizzy, however it has a foul finish. A disappointing way to end a semi-good beer.

Feb 20, 2006 For my dad. The body was dark gold with a very thin white head. The aroma had sweet pears with a little caramel and hay. The taste had caramel, tea and some honey. There was also some cardboard. This was ok, but I would like to try a fresher sample.

Feb 12, 2006 Updated: Jun 17, 2006This is not my first beer from Kona brewing on the Big Island. This ale was enjoyed in the bottle on Oahu at a resturant in Hale’iwa on the coast. The big waves of Hawaii were just off the beach. The head formation was white and stayed with the beer. This was enjoyable drink with dinner. It is not a complex beverage. There was some sweetness and hints of yeast. This is very similar to a Bud or Miller product. It would be great for the beach and picnics.

Jan 8, 2006 Draft at a bar in Kona: Hazy and bright orange, with a frothy white head (nice looking!). Creamy-soft texture up front; lively carbonation cleaned out each swallow. Malts had a mild sweetness (sweet bread) followed by a bread dough stickiness and a big yeast cake aroma. Very mild bitterness, mostly herbal. Too yeasty and a little too cloying to be refreshing, but otherwise not so bad.

Jan 1, 2006 Had this on-tap at the brewery. Beer was a clear, light-gold color without any head to speak of. The aroma was moderately hoppy with notes of apricot and pine and miscellaneous banana, honey and juicy-sweet tropical fruit esters. The flavor began lightly bittersweet with a short, moderately bitter finish. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation was fizzy.
