Borran's Beer Review: Hanalei Island IPA

in #life5 years ago
Hey everyone!
Today, I'm reviewing a beer from the brewery Kona Brewing Company. It's called Hanalei Island IPA and it's a Session IPA. The beer is hopped with Millennium, Azacca and Galaxy hops and they have also added passion fruit, orange and guava. The beer is brewed in Hawaii which is quite exiting! Unfortunately that excitement didn't last long. Continue reading and you'll understand what I mean.

Kona Brewing Company was founded in 1994 and is a brewery in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii's Big Island. Well, that's what I thought, but the truth is that most of the beer is produced in the continental U.S. — in the regions of Oregon, Washington state, New Hampshire, and Tennessee. Kona Brewing Co. is facing a lawsuit because its Hawaiian-themed beer is not always brewed in Hawaii.

Appearance: clear golden color, small sized white head.
Smell: strong tropical fruit aroma, hints of caramel malt.
Mouthfeel: light body, medium carbonation.
Taste: juicy tropical fruits, guava, orange peel, malt.

A easy drinking refreshing beer, quite watery. Probably a good beer to drink on a hot day. I like the juicy flavor and the Hawaiian-themed art and design. I enjoyed it but I don't think I would buy it again. And of course it's very disappointing that the beer is probably not made in Hawaii. I will give it a rating 3 out of 5.
