A very nice addition to Kona's lineup. Too bad it is only being served for a short time [will probably be gone by August].

Stats: Malts used are pale malt, munich and carapils. Hops are galena, centennial, willametter and liberty. IBU = 45.

Poured a orange/gold coloer with a nice fluffy head that had good lasting power. Decent lacing.

Aroma was sweet with some floral notes and hops coming through.

Taste had hops showing throughout and even after the bitterness hung around. Somewhat perfumy. Sweetness up front.

Mouthfeel was creamy with a medium body and quite cleansing.

Overall, a nice surprise seasonal from Kona. Quite drinkable and refreshing. Hope to go back for another before its gone.
