Kona Big Wave (73.9cl, 4.4%)

A light-bodied golden ale brewed at 4.4% ABV, inspired by Hawaii's surf culture and brewed by Kona Brewing in Kailua-Kona. Water mineral levels at each brewery are adjusted to replicate the mineral profile of Hawaii's fresh water supply. The grain bill centres on 2-row malt and Gambrinus Honey Malt, with Warrior and Millennium hops for bittering and Willamette and Hallertau hops for flavour and aroma. It smells of tropical fruit, particularly pineapple, with a light hoppy lift and honey-grain sweetness; tastes clean and slightly sweet with caramel malt, citrus and tropical fruit; and finishes short and crisp with mild hop dryness.
