Hanalei Island IPA
Hanalei Island IPA is the Hawaiian brewery's session-strength IPA, brewed in Kailua-Kona with passion fruit, orange and guava for the island pubs. The fruit shapes the nose with ripe passion fruit, orange peel and a soft pink-guava sweetness, while Azacca and Galaxy add mango, peach and grapefruit on top. A little dark caramel malt gives a coppery colour and a light toffee base. The body is light, the fruit brings a mild tartness to the middle, and a firm, peppery bitterness with a touch of pine closes it dry.
