Floral finish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found that it had a slight apple fruity start with a floral finish. I enjoyed the taste, but one was definitely enough. It didn’t have a lot of carbonation and when I poured it into a glass, it didn’t leave a lot of head.

Tasty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging is AMAZING super pretty. It is on the lighter side of a beer. Tastes tropical and sweet without being sweet if that makes sense. The color is beautiful. I will continue to enjoy this beer all summer long.

Yum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very fruity , a little malty, and a little hoppy. Smooth and light but still flavorful and not bland. Really easy to drink and enjoyable anytime of the year. This is a very balanced and tasty beer that is a part of my regular rotation. I would even recommend this to non- beer drinkers, as it is so easy going. Aloha!

A great, flavorful beer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you enjoy a more “milder” beer this is a great option! I’m not one for a IPA or anything really bitter so was a little nervous to try something new. This beer is light and refreshing, with a little more flavor (hops) than some of the “light” beer out there. I would buy again!

Light & Crisp

[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.

New favorite beer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new favorite beer! My previous favorites were Corona, Blue Moon, and Papago Orange Blossom. This is so good and light but not too light. It had the perfect amount of light carbonation. The bottle was very nice too and elevated the experience.

Something is missing, not quite the Hawaii feel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed it, a little bit heavy for my taste but I would definitely drink it again if available. Almost had the Hawaii feel, the packaging definitely nailed it though! The carbonation was alright but could've definitely had slightly more.

Refresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a big beer fan but I tried this in Hawaii and trying it again definitely took me back. Was happy to be able to try again. It’s got crisp flavor taste best when super cold. I live in Arizona so it was nice to sip by the pool on a hot day.

Decent Summer Beer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a decent, light tasting beer; however I was expecting a fruiter after taste being labeled as “liquid aloha”. Definitely a nice, light, summer beer nonetheless (I would say similar to Sam’s summer ale). Also not overly carbonated.

Refreshing beer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I tried this beer for the first time and it was absolutely delicious! The carbonation level is perfect and there is a slight tropical taste almost like pineapple. The labeling makes me feel like I’m on vacation.
