hopIQ found 10 beers with the same bitter and earthy character as Kua Bay. Kua Bay is a copper-coloured India pale ale named after the white-sand beach of Kua Bay on Hawaiʻi Island. Pale, Munich and a dark caramel malt build a full body with toffee, bready crust and a subtle caramel sweetness. Cascade and Centennial bring an earthy, piney nose with grapefruit peel, orange zest and a light spicy note. The bitterness is firm and lasting, and the finish is crisp and dry, with resin and caramel lingering. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
