Kona Longboard Island Lager

My husband and I are in search of the right beer for our next keg. I got the bright idea to buy some individual bottles of beer so we can sample them without committing to an entire 6-pack.

Brewed in Kona, Hawaii (on the Big Island), Kona Longboard Island Lager sounded like a fun beer to try and the keg price was fairly cheap (~$80 for a 1/6 barrel). The label was appealing and kind of reminded me of an Old Navy commercial.



I had high hopes for this beer, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me.

Appearance: Light straw color with very little head which disappeared almost immediately.
Smell: The smell reminded me of a typical American lager such as Bud Light.
Taste: Nothing remarkable here. It certainly didn't taste bad, but it wasn't very strong. I told my husband I could definitely play beer pong with a beer like this it was so easy to drink.
Mouthfeel: Very light with minimal carbonation.

Overall this beer is COMPLETELY AVERAGE and that disappointed me a little. I'd certainly order it before I'd order something like Bud Light or Miller Light, but otherwise I'd probably pass.

I give KONA LONGBOARD ISLAND LAGER 5/10 stars.
