Never drinking this again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a fan at all. The bottle looks very nice and has me wanting to try it. But as soon as I opened the bottle the smell told me no. I gave it a taste anyways and this is just a sour and gross mess. Maybe if you like beer a lot and like the after bitter taste than maybe.

Great for easy spring drinking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great spring and summer beer! It’s a little hoppy, but not as intense as some IPAs. Great to have one or two without feeling too heavy after. It’s nice and light, goes down easy. Also not too bubbly which is a huge plus. Had to take a photo with the glass almost done to prove I was enjoying it 😂

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.

Kona Big Wave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not much of a beer drinker anymore, but I do like trying new things. I had to go to a couple locations before I found what I was looking for. The bottle and label are of nice quality but the quality of the six-pack carrier seemed flimsy. My boyfriend smelled it after I opened it and that made him not want to try it. The flavor was surprisingly good, like it wasn't bitter or anything. I could see myself enjoying a couple of bottles next time I relax out in the backyard.

Pineapple taste!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the packaging (ocean turquoise and yellow hibiscus) and name of this beer...Kona Big Wave Liquid Aloha. It is a mild flavored, not too sweet beer, with a surprising slightly pineapple flavor! It is good ice cold or slightly chilled.

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.

Fresh and crisp with a kick!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We easily found the 6 pack in the refrigerated alcohol section and carried it securily with its handle. At home, 4 adults tried this exiting new beer to us. Collectively, we all enjoyed the mild scent and found the beer to be exceptionally smooth, crisp, and flavorful. None of us could place the aftertaste. Honestly, we would prefer the beer without the aftertaste. We were very fond of the original base flavor. How smooth and fresh it feels.

Nice balanced golden ale for a summer day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect beer after a hot summer day when you’re looking for something refreshing and bright to end the day. It has some nice bright floral notes while also remaining very crushable. Great balanced golden ale!

Refreshing beer with hints of tropical notes

[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!

Great beer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried this golden ale, and it’s quickly become one of my favorites! It’s smooth, slightly sweet, and easy to drink, making it perfect for any occasion. The crisp, refreshing taste pairs so well with food—I had it with burgers, and it was a great match. I also love the light carbonation and clean finish, which makes it super enjoyable whether you’re having it with dinner or just sipping outside on a warm day. The packaging is really cute and eye-catching, and the bottle size is just right. If you’re looking for a refreshing, smooth ale that’s perfect for grilling, campfires, or summer nights, I highly recommend this one! I’ll definitely be buying it again.
