After drinking a bottle of Drake's IPA, I went on to have a Kona Big Wave Golden Ale. Unfortunately, I only noted the following: "This beer has a bright taste, but I'm pretty far in and it's hard to concentrate on tastes." 10:48PM PT

Today, while at a Korean buffet dinner, I had a Kona Big Wave Golden Ale.*
In any case, it had a lovely floral smell, and it also smelled of hops.
There was an average amount of carbonation, the beer had a moderate taste, and there was a slightly citrus flavor. 9:55PM PT
*At the time, I didn't realize I had already tried it. This has become a common occurrence of late: not remembering that I had already tried a specific brand of beer.

Light, Balanced & Easy Going
Our brewers wanted to make a beer that went down easy after a day out on the water. Big Wave Golden Ale is just the ticket. Big Wave is a lighter bodied golden ale with a tropical hop aroma and flavor – a smooth, easy drinking refreshing ale. The use of caramel malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer and our special blend of hops provides bright quenching finish.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRINGS:
Big Wave is an excellent choice after a day of snorkeling, surfing or just hanging out. Its lighter body and bright hop aroma and taste makes it a natural to enjoy with seafood, poultry, salads and light pasta dishes.
