Tobin’s Review 4 out of 5
Maui Brewing Coconut HIWA Porter has a dark black hue with a nice deep beige head. I pick up aromas of caramel and burnt sweet grain. The mouth is slightly dry with flavors of soft light burnt caramel mocha and a slightly dry licorice. It ends dry, but super tasty. It almost has a light brownie flavor.

Kona Kua Bay IPA has a reddish hue, with a small frothy head, and malt and light hops on the nose. The beer is smooth with a nice soft bite of hops. Although it is a little dry, overall it’s a solid drinkable beer!

Kona Big Wave Golden Ale has a light hay hue with a small head and malt and hops aromas. The beer is very soft on the palate with a nice light hop flavor. It’s a very light beer, without a lot of flavor…. but the perfect cold one for a hot day!

Kona Hanalei Island IPA has a caramel red hue with a nice thick head. The beer pops with aromas of sweet guava jelly with a hint of hops. This is a nice smooth beer that has a fruity hops flavor which lingers. It is a little dry, not over-hopped and a pretty good beer!

Kona Kanaha Blonde Ale is a light beer with a little haze to it. The head on this beer is small and it’s very fragrant. Unfortunately it’s not very good, as it tastes like a hairy fart. It starts out smooth but the hops clashes in this beer and it’s definitely not along the lines of a blonde ale. It honestly tastes like a really watered down version of an IPA. This is a definite miss by a brewery that usually produces hits.

Kona Light Blonde Ale has a light bronze hue without much of an aroma. The beer is smooth with a slight grain and malty flavor that ends dry. It’s an easy to drink beer, and is well balanced as well!

Big Swell IPA has a very light gold hue with a small creamy head. You can definitely pick up the citrus hops on the nose. The beer starts out light at first, but finishes with a tinge of bitter hops at the end. Overall it’s a smooth beer, but definitely has a bitter finish.
