Kona brewery is located on the Big Island in Hawaii. They only distribute the Fire Rock and special release beer to the mainland.
This beer has a hops smell, with a touch of caramel malt. The foam is thin, with little to no retention. The color is a orangish amber with a light haze.
The taste starts with some sweet brown sugar flavors. The sweetness is balanced against a fruity hop flavor with subtle notes of pineapple. The mouthfeel is thin like a pale ale should. The finish sweet with some hop flavor and slight bitterness.
The hint of fruit is really enjoyable in this beer, it's a combination of malt and hops working together making the fruity taste. This is great beer, I could enjoy drinking plenty of these.

Hey Willie,
Just stopped by to check out your blog.
Did you know that my friend Bill Storms worked at the Kona Brew Pub when he lived on the Big Island? He loved it because he could get free beer and pizza. I ate there when I visited and it was yummy. I think I had a root beer.
