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.

GABF 2009. Pours hazy yellow with an average, rocky white head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (hay, straw, cereal, meal), average hop (herbs), heavy yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, earth) with notes of banana, clove, pepper, and coriander. Light bodied, thin texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Long duration, light sweetness and bitterness, moderate acidity.
