Jun 23, 2008 Poured from bottle a golden color with small white head. Aroma is a slight floral hop and hay. Flavor is a little bisquity with grassy hay and a very mild toast. This beer ends with a tart bitterness which becomes astringent as the beer warms. Overall, decent if drunk cold on a hot day, otherwise I’d choose a different beer if available.

Jun 19, 2008 on tap marco island, florida. hoped and expected more, especially with the heat. as the beer warmed, the worse it became, probably would be decent cold from a bottle.

Jun 18, 2008 Pours golden. Aroma of wheat and malts. Flavor is slightly skunky, with some wheat and strange hops. I just can’t get into this beer. My original rating had this as simply an enhanced version of Bud Heavy. But that’s a low blow.

Jun 16, 2008 Served in a stemmed pilsner glass on tap- I wish the beer tasted as good as it looked. Appealing deep golden color but virtually no head retention. Unassuming middle, slight hop on the finish. An OK lager but not what I was expecting.

Jun 13, 2008 Pale, snow white foam, refreshing. A competent premium lager. I was told that Kona doesn’t ship their beer to the continental US, so I was quite surprised to find a bottle of this for sale at Lone Star Beverages, in Carrollton, TX.

Gold with white head no lacing. Nice aroma, floral, herbal.
Sweet malts, very bitter hops for a lager.
Crisp, clean on the palate. Very close to APA hop presence. Pretty darn nice for a premium lager. Great beach beer. The label has changed from the present photo.

Jun 10, 2008 For an American lager, Longboard has the usual straw yellow color. Non existant head and this beer shows no carbonation. Looks more like a sports drink rather than beer. Smells better than it looks. Buttery wheat, hint of honey and a slight not not usual for a mass market lager. Taste is majority bitter, apparently more hops included than I noticed in the aroma. The butter taste comes to the tongue next. Palate is what you expect if a bit thicker. This lager stacks up better than the mass market majors but is below Sam Adams.
