Nice upfront flavor of sweet malt with some bitter hop bite to follow. After my palate cleared, I detected some grassy notes that seemed out of place and they detracted somewhat from the experience. All-in-all, not a bad tasting experience, and one of the better pale ales I’ve tasted. Modestly rich for a pale ale with the appropriate amount of cling on the tongue.
Don’t Float the Mainstream. 420 Extra Pale Ale. A crisp pale ale accentuated by a stimulating hop character. Handcrafted with selected malts and pacific northwest hops. This kind beer compliments any occasion. Drink’em if you Got’em!
Wakiki beach in Honolulu is the birth place of longboard surfing. Kona brewing pays tribute to this iconic place with our own longboard island lager. A spirited, crisp and refershing brew. Longboard is a smooth ride all the way in. Thirsts up!
Pours a slightly hazy orange-golden with an ecru head about three fingers high that reduces to a nice sheen. Lacing is the minimal round spec here und there. Bits of yeastiness suspended throughout.
Not Quite Pale Ale – The ancient ritual of brewing a distinctly rich and flavorful beer is a performance to behold. Our mysterious melange of time-honored ingredients harmonize with chaotic chemistry, humble patience, and blind faith to create unique beers to share in the rousing company of kindred spirits. Cheers!
