| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 21, 2009 On tap at the Mews in Wakefield RI. Slight hazy copper pour, creamy foam head with some lacing. Light flora of hops. Palate is light citrus, hops and malts. A crisp like texture with some bitterness towards the finish. Probably a good paring with ham/pineapples.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 19, 2009 Six pack from Majestic Liquors on Eastchase. Not that great, but by this point, Kona is hit or miss for me. Could have been more hoppy. Radek Kliber (3957), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 12, 2009 6-pack purchased at a local convenience store. Nice looking pale ale. Peach/gold or copper color. Nice thin head sitting on top that slowly fades away. Very surprised to see how good this thing looks. Nice sweet caramel malt aroma. Nice subtle hop that almost perfectly balances the aroma. Not overly pungent, but still a nice aroma. The flavor is a bit boring and weak. A mild hop flavor with a little sweet malt backing. Nothing amazing going on here, but a very straight forward APA. Not exceptionally creamy, but average. Pwn3d (1077), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Bottle from Wholefoods. Pours a pretty dark amber, looks nice. Medium carbonation, sharp hop tang underneath sweet malts. Grainy and medium bodied. Tasty brew. mansquito (832), Boston/Philadelphia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 10, 2009 Poured a clear amber color with a small uninteresting head. Smell is of mild citrus and a little bit of malts. Taste is again not too interesting. A little bit of hops. Bunch of malts. Mouth feel was smooth, but not at all hearty. Not my favorite APA. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 5, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent uncarbonated orange colored body. The deep mild aroma was hoppy and floral. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The nice sharp flavor contained notes of hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.
