     This beer is great. It has some nice mild fruitiness. The only problem is the low alcohol content.

Session IPA - 4.5% ABV

     I saw "POG IPA" on a menu in Hawaii and couldn't resist. The passion-orange-guava combo is all over the place there. I was very glad to see it in a beer, and boy does it work. Super hoppy with a punch of fruitiness. I'm also very happy that this is a session, since it took me about 4 minutes to down that pint.

Kona Koko Brown
Brown Ale - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     This beer is very smooth, and it tastes quite a bit like coconut. I also got some nice roasted flavor in it. I don't typically love coconut, but this really worked for me. I can see coconut lovers absolutely loving this beer.

     This is OK. There's nothing bad about it, and it's pretty easy to drink, it just doesn't have any flavor.
