[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a pack of this beer courtesy of Influenster to test out in exchange for my honest opinion. I’m not a beer drinker, so I had my husband give me his thoughts on this beer. This has been one of his favorite beers since my brother-in-law introduced it to him due our trip to Hawaii a few years ago. The packaging is reminiscent of Hawaii. He describes the beer as having a smooth and light taste and it is very refreshing. He has continued to buy it since he first tried it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend really enjoyed this beer, the flavor was on point. The carbonation was absolutely okay perfect and the aroma was even better. It’s bottles and packaging is super cute and I find it super cool that it’s a brand from Hawaii as I didn’t realize they partake in beer making. The beer was perfect when cold!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big taste, in a good way. Nice and relaxing, this brew is fun to sip on while you do your leisure activities. Great percentage, that it gets the job done without feeling too full. Has the right amount of carbonation that you don’t get bloated either. Great taste.

[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.] Just to start, the packaging on this product from the case to the glass bottle is very appealing. The Hawaiin islands on the glass bottle just make me feel like I’m beachside even though I’m in the desert. Great taste, very smooth, not overpowering at all which is great. This beer is also very affordable, which is rare these days to find a good beer at a good price. I love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This beer was light and refreshing with a noticeable golden hoppy taste. We felt there was not a lot of head for this specific beer unless we got a bad batch. I would say it's a decent light beer but nothing stands out about it.
