Delicious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A perfect beer for a hot day! A full bodied taste but light. Has a good fruity flavor. It’s refreshing and tasty. Makes me feel like I’m on the island. Bottle is nice and sleek. Will definitely keep buying.

Full bodied but feels light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This beer is delicious. I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to review this product. Kona Big Wave is a fantastic tropical lager that doesn’t taste heavy while still having all the full bodied flavors of a lager.

Kona Big Wave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect as the temps start to heat up! This brew is refreshing but tasty on a hot day. I like that they come in bottles which seems to make any beer taste better. The flavor is full with just a hint of tropical, but not in a perfumey way.

Refreshing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an incredibly refereshing, light, low-to-mid hops beer. It perfectly fits in that category and has a pleasant aroma and bright, crisp taste. It's perfect for spending the day in your backyard or an evening in with a video game and snack. My husband says this is one of his favorite beers now, and I have to agree!

Smooth & Refreshing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my first taste of Kona Big Wave on a Friday night, in-home date night with the hubby. Watching a movie, eating a pizza, and drinking an ice cold Kona Big Wave. It had a smooth finish and was really good. I would definitely get again.

Smooth and light

[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.

Crispy beer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The package design for this Kona big wave premium beer is colorful, cute design. It has a good flavor and is really crispy, it feels just right in my mouth.

Surf the Wave from the comfort of home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This beer definitely feels familiar to me but I’m not certain if I’ve had it previously. But regardless this is a solid warm-weather beer. The flavor is light and crisp with a bit of sweetness. A big, bold IPA this is not but it delivers the kind of refreshment you want when the temperatures rise. More body than the mass Pilsner’s out there but low enough ABV that you can crush a few without major regret. I typically support my local breweries but this is a quality offering that is widely available.

Ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really liked the Light body, great style and balance. Love the ingredients. Overall this is a decent beer but not one I would grab if I had other options.

Not my style

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This beer is not for my husband or I. I can’t say the flavor was “bad” because I know it’s likely just preference. I was hoping it would be more fruity and less strong, so it’s not super drinkable for us. BUT it did make a fantastic beer for my fish and chips batter. Fish tasted great!
