The Big Wave from Kona is a light, well-balanced golden ale from Hawaii. The brewers at the Hawaiian brewery wanted to create a beer that would provide refreshment and relaxation after a day of surfing. Big Wave meets exactly these criteria: it is light-footed, drinkable and uncomplicated. The light, smooth ale has a tropical hop aroma and an enticing golden color that comes from the use of caramel malt.
Big Wave flows into the glass in the bright color of sunshine and shines wonderfully golden. An airy, white foam crowns the beer. From the fleeting head of foam, a fine aromatic potpourri of sun-dried straw, freshly cut herbs, creamy caramel and dancing citrus notes rise to the nose. The initial taste presents a light, flaky beer with a light body, a fine taste and a crisp clarity that is reminiscent of a cool summer morning. A gentle malt taste with notes of freshly baked bread and lightly roasted malt begins, before delicate hop notes come in and delight the palate with floral aromas and a hint of citrus. Big Wave is refreshing, light and fluffy and simply delicious.
The delicate structure, hop aromas and taste make it a great accompaniment to seafood, poultry, salads and light pasta dishes - perfect for grilling on a warm summer evening!
