| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Nothing too great here but I was pretty impressed with the Kona Brewing Company on my trip to Maui. Pours a yellowish color, some head and a little bit of lacing. Pretty much what I had expected there. Flavor wise, it’s pretty good for a lager. Tastes like a typical lager except for a little lemon zing they put in there which I suppose makes it more appealing for me. Also makes it a decent choice in the hot weather in Hawaii. A slight bitter aftertaste but no real problem there. I’d get it again but it ranks third out of the three beers I sampled from Kona. Sparky27 (1608), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light golden with a small head. Light carbonation. Nose is malt and grass with a bit of hops in the background. Palate is sweet malts - touch of honey - and a mild hop finish. Beach beer for sure, dude.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 10, 2008 A clean lager with a light sweetness and a crisp finish. Nothing distinguished, but it is by no means bad. morrdt (609), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 6, 2008 gold pour with bubbles on the outsides. malty scent with a slight sweet malt flavor with a tad of grass. mmmbeer (765), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 3, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into lager glass- poured transparent thin golden yellow, medium carbonation of small bubbles, thin white head went away quickly, aroma of malt with notes of sweetness and hops. HIts the mouth with a dull but present sweetness which is throughout the swallow, malt seems weak, some hops on the finish, which is clean. I’d drink it if offered, but purchased a 6’er as a pure mistake. fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA

Light aroma of pilsner malt and spicy floral hops. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium slightly sweet mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Not bad.
