Alright, so - let's get the learnin' out of the way so we can get on about the sippin'! Who's got what from Kona Brewery? True to form, I've got two beers open in front of me (strictly for comparative purposes) - Longboard & Big Wave.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:09 AM

What do you think...a little spicy, hoppy flavor huh?
JA

longboard

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:09 AM

★ Spotlighted from Steve Hoffman

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:09 AM

That's because you're thinking of Wahinis...

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:10 AM

★ Spotlighted from Steve Hoffman

I taste a hint of coffee

JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:10 AM

Nice Steve...if you like a coffee based beer, you should try the Pipeline Porter
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:10 AM

It actually contains coffee
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:10 AM

Ooohhh - with the mention of salt water, this just took on a whole new flavor persona for me. Is it possible that taste is totally subjective like that?
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:11 AM

Maybe it's because he washed it down with coffee. lol
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:11 AM

Unfortunately some of the Kona's are strictly seasonal and aren't available all of the time
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:11 AM

★ Spotlighted from Connie Ashba

I'm not so sure I get the coffee hint. Maybe that's it. A little citrusy too.

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:11 AM

JD, tell us a little about the Kona beers with which you are familiar.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:12 AM

Kona Brewery was founded by two brothers in 1995 and weren't available on the mainland until 2010.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:16 AM

That is a true Hawaiian speciality...only found on the islands and from Kona
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:16 AM

Couldn't find it - is that a seasonal? Sure like the name!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:17 AM

Actually no Fire Rock is a year round beer with a hint of citrus but a strong hoppy flavor
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:17 AM

It is what I would consider the IPA representation from Kona
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:17 AM

India-Hawaii Pale Ale - should have it's own designation.
