I present for your consideration Longboard Island Lager from Kona Brewing Co., Kona, Hawaii:

Ah, the Big Island of Hawaii. Laid back, relaxed, casual, you get the idea. If you’ve been there, you know. If you don’t know, click on the link to the brewer’s site and turn up the volume. After a hard day of snorkeling and catching some rays, a tuckered tourist needs some liquid refreshment. Does the Longboard Island Lager handle the task?

Appearance:The beer pours a crystal clear yellowish gold with a thin white head. It looks like a lager.

Smell: Lots of sweet malt in this puppy. Also a bit of floral, peppery hops, but mostly malt.

Taste: I was met right away with strong chocolate malt up front - sweet and delicious. It also packs in some burned toast and spicy hops to finish. It is very well balanced and a very interesting combination of flavors. The flavor is different than I’ve tasted before. I like it. It tastes a bit like a camp fire smells. Hu?

Mouth Feel: This beer has a pretty firm body for a lager. It is almost creamy or chewey. Carbonation is perfect and bites a bit as the beer sits on my tongue.

Overall: The Longboard Island Lager is a very enjoyable, unique, drinkable beer. This is one lager with plenty of flavor and is smooth and well balanced. A keeper for sure. Now, where’s that travel agent?

Enjoy your beer,
