Commercial Description:
Kona Brewing Company has brewed the first beer ever in Hawaii using all organic malted barley and hops, a Belgian-style saison named Oceanic Organic Ale. It was fermented with a custom blend of Belgian yeast strains and spiced with an abundance of organic hops, coriander and grains of paradise. The straw-colored unfiltered beer has a crisp, dry, quenching flavor and distinctive spicy aroma with notes of lemon peel, clove, white pepper, cardamom and fresh hops complemented by pleasant cellar-like notes. The complex aroma is balanced by rustic hop flavor.
