Relatively new to GA (within the last few weeks), I’ve now managed to try this, my second of the Kona brewing beers. I actually quite enjoyed the Fire Rock Pale so I thouhgt I would give this one a spin.
12oz bottle purchased as a single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA.
Golden macro-like pour with a bubbly head. Head is gone quickly to revel virtually no lace.
Sweet but clean nose.
Drinks really quite hoppy (at least within the parameters of the style). A saaz type bite in the finish, but it is a little less clean than that you would expect from a Pils. Slight aftertaste that is a little metallic.
Creamy for the mouthfeel (again, in the context of the style).
Actually not bad at all. Couled with the Fire Rock Pale I’ve been happy with the first two offerings from Kona – will they go on to bigger and better things? I guess time will tell.
