Kona brewing Big Wave Golden Ale

Now this was a surprise. The wife and I went to Hawaii with my folks to spend almost two weeks at a vacation rental on Kauaii. The place we were supposed to stay in wasn't up to standards (nonfunctional appliances, ants, run down) so mom took it on herself to find a new place. Where we are now is a two bedroom condo on the ocean. I can't complain at all since it was a last minute save and the new place is just fine.

Anyways, we had shown up and the folks had these beers from the Kona brewing company there. There was the Longboard lager which tasted like a good quality lager, a bit like Creemore but without as much maltiness to it. The real surprise for me out of what was there was the Big Wave golden ale. Quite nice and a surprising amount of citrus to it. I could almost swear that I was getting pineapple out of it but I don't know of any hops off the top of my head with that profile. Quite nice and you can do far worse on a sunny day than a nice light citrusy ale like this one. Well done!
