Pipeline porter is one of my favorites. Had a hard time finding it this yr tho. Wailua wheat is also great but can't find that eitha. Wtf!
I love Kona! I have a tendency to favor their bottles when it's time to cap up a batch.
Liquid Aloha!!!

A while back,I found their fire rock pale ale & long board lager at Super Walmart over in Avon. The long board lager tastes a lot like my Hopped & Confused hybrid lager. That was interesting.

Thread resurrection, but for a worthy brewer - this place makes some good beer. Liquid Aloha indeed!
Bought many bottles on our honeymoon in 2010. Had to leave some because you can't ship alcohol off the island...brought a tear to my eye. They recently started selling locally here, in the grocery store even (Jewel).
Favorites:
1) Koko Brown - Coconut brown ale. Just the right balance of coconut and sweetness.
2) Fire Rock Pale Ale - yum
3) Longboard Lager - yum
Not my favorite:
1) Pipeline Porter - somewhat inconsistent, coffee flavor seemed stale
2) The passionfruit beer. Meh. I love guava and passionfruit ever since my time on the islands, and was excited about this. Just didn't do it for me.

Kona is a Craft Brew Alliance brand. In the northwest it's brewed alongside Redhook at Widmer Brother's Portland brewery. Guess they are pushing the brand out to new markets now.

The Longboard Lager is pretty decent. Pretty dark and hop heavy for the style. Great to session around the grill

Dark? Mine was a nice golden color & a bit heavy handed with the crystal malts. A lot like my light hybrid lager. Didn't get a lot of hops,maybe it sat too long?

I have only had the Big Wave Golden Ale, not bad I blew through the six pack in no time.
