Summer Beer!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kona Big Wave is one of those beers that never disappoints. It’s incredibly smooth, with a light, slightly sweet malt flavor and just a touch of tropical fruitiness that makes it super refreshing. The golden ale style means it’s not too heavy or bitter, perfect for people who want a clean, easy-drinking beer without sacrificing flavor. This is a perfect go-to for beach days, BBQs, or just relaxing on the patio. Plus, the branding gives off total island vibes—just holding the bottle feels like a mini escape.

It's ok.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Kona Big Wave beer. It's ok. Not my kind of beer though. It's 4.4% alcohol. It tastes strong. It has that strong beer sour taste to it. Maybe I'm just too used to beer like Bud Light. I like the packaging, love the label, & the bottle is neat.

The bes beer I eat had

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have received this product from Influenster in exchange for a honest review. Kona Brewing Co.’s Big Wave Golden Ale is a delightful, easy-drinking beer that embodies the laid-back, tropical spirit of Hawaii. This golden ale pours with a light, golden color and a frothy, white head, creating an inviting visual. The aroma is subtle but pleasant, offering notes of tropical fruit, honey, and a hint of floral hops. Upon the first sip, Big Wave stands out with its smooth, crisp mouthfeel. The flavor is mildly sweet, with hints of caramel malt balanced by a touch of citrus and tropical fruit, like pineapple and passion fruit. Unlike many craft beers, it has a very light bitterness, which makes it exceptionally refreshing and accessible, even to those who are not typically beer enthusiasts. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a slight hint of hops lingering just enough to balance out the sweetness. At 4.4% ABV, Kona Big Wave is perfect for casual sipping on a hot day. It’s light enough to pair with a variety of foods, particularly seafood, grilled chicken, or tropical dishes. Overall, Big Wave is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a smooth, flavorful, and highly drinkable beer that embodies a taste of the islands.

If you like ale beer you will like this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not a huge beer person but tried this. It reminds me of leinekeugels, it’s not terrible. It tastes like an ale, it’s light but has a good fresh beer taste. It doesn’t smell bad or have a strong odor or make my mouth feel flemy. Strong carbonation, I feel it after the first drink, if you like beer it’s a good one to try out

Strong flavor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a huge beer drinker but my boyfriend is. We decided to get this two nights ago and I was surprised. I expect a light beer taste and kind of refreshing. These sucker's are strong and put me on my butt.

Perfect drink on a hot summer day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kona Big Wave pours a nice golden color, like a sunny day down by the beach. This is a solid, warm-weather beer. The flavor is light and crisp with a bit of sweetness. It’s fresh, without having the heavy beer taste.it has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness.The texture's not too heavy, rather light and bubbly. Makes it easy to relax and enjoy. The feel of floral and fruity, giving off those island vibes, makes it perfect for unwinding after an exhausting tiring day.

Great tasting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kona Big Wave is a perfect summer beer! It's great tasting, not too heavy but more flavorful than the usual American big beers. No strong overpowered "hoppy" taste of the microbrews. Just great taste. You will enjoy it!
