[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kona Brewing's Big Wave Golden Ale is a refreshing and delightful beer that captures the essence of the Hawaiian islands. With its bright, golden hue and light, crisp taste, it’s perfect for those seeking a smooth and easy-drinking brew. The subtle tropical fruit notes and a hint of honey provide a balanced sweetness, while the mild hop finish adds just the right amount of bitterness. Whether you're enjoying it on a warm day or pairing it with a meal, Big Wave offers a consistently enjoyable drinking experience. This ale truly embodies the relaxed and inviting spirit of Hawaii.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a lovely and refreshing golden ale! It feels more refined and grown up than the other similar offerings you might see and is oh so easy to drink. If you're looking for an easy reach, summertime beer, this is one I would really recommend, even to the novice beer drinker. The flavour has notes of cereal and a little bit of caramel. The packaging is also cute and the price is really solid for 6 of a craft beer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This beer is so yummy! I love the smoothness of it going down and that sharp taste of a little hops at the end. Pretty standard lager style beer that is versatile for when it comes to drinking or cooking with. Over all would definitely recommend especially for a hot summer day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free for my honest review. I am not a huge beer drinker, but I really enjoyed the light citrusy flavor of Kona Big Wave. A great summer beer that is not to filling and is just light enough for a day in the sun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kona Big Wave Packaging is fun and appealing. The bottle is thick and solid. It has a hoppy aroma and hints of citrus and a slightly bitter taste. The price is reasonable compared to similar type brands. Makes a great summer beer but can be used year round and paired with all types of foods.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kona Big Wave Golden Ale is a solid choice for those who enjoy light, refreshing beers, but it may not satisfy everyone looking for a more complex experience. The beer pours a clear, golden color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Its aroma is inviting, with hints of tropical fruit and subtle malt sweetness. On the palate, Big Wave is smooth and easy-drinking, featuring flavors of pineapple and passion fruit that give it a pleasantly fruity character. The malt backbone is mild, offering just enough sweetness to balance the light hop bitterness. The finish is clean and crisp, making it an excellent beer for hot summer days or casual drinking. However, for those who prefer a beer with more depth and complexity, Big Wave might come across as somewhat one-dimensional. The flavor profile, while refreshing, lacks the robustness that some beer enthusiasts might seek. Additionally, its light body and low ABV (4.4%) might not be satisfying for those looking for a more substantial beer. Overall, Kona Big Wave Golden Ale is a good, approachable beer, particularly for those new to craft brews or who prefer lighter options. While it may not be a standout in the craft beer world, it’s reliable and enjoyable in the right setting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ll admit that Kona big wave blonde/golden ale is a step up from a lot of the other macro brewery beers you will find almost everywhere. I do however greatly prefer and recommend local micro brewery beers whenever possible, even if they cost a bit more. That said, Big Wave is a refreshing, easy drinking light beer with a little sweetness and tropical flavor profile. Easy to find and consistent so you always know what you’re getting. I actually do go for a Big Wave every once in a while when I am at a sporting event or big concert where micro brews are not available. I was happy to have the chance to pick some up for home and review it.

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very refreshing beer with a hint of something tropical (can’t quite pin it to what exactly). It has great carbonation and refreshing to sip on a hot day. Love the glass design and small details on it. Overall, great beer!
