Appearance: Colored like honey. Just a bit of head.
Smell: Beer-y.
Taste: The usual bitterness that comes with beers, but with more depth. Something citrus-y to it.
Mouthfeel: Light carbonation. Fuller than the last couple of beers I’ve had.
Drinkability: Always enjoyed the Kona beers, but never really cared for this one. I think over time, though, and with more beer-consumption, I’ve started to appreciate this one more than the Longboard. A good beer that went great with my hodgepodge dinner.
For Jesus: Past experiences shouldn’t completely dictate future ones. I would have never come to like beer if I hadn’t kept on exposing myself to it. Just because something seems bad in the beginning, doesn’t mean it will always be that way.
Appearance: Honestly? Like piss. White, foamy head.
Smell: Like most beers in general.
Taste: Hardly any, until the aftertaste. Bitter. And it lingers.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation makes the lips tingle, but finishes smooth.
Drinkability: Mediocre at best. I’d drink it if it was free, but would be hesitant to pay for it again. Had it with BBQ chicken and kalbi, which worked out very well: the flavors of the meat masked the taste of the beer.
For Jesus: Life will not always be filled with good things, but it is in experiencing some bad times that allows us to appreciate the times that are good.
Appearance: Very much like apple juice. Hardly any head.
Smell: A barely noticeable general beer bitterness.
Taste: Pleasantly beer-y, but an oddly sharp aftertaste. Hits you like an afterthought.
Mouthfeel: Clearly carbonated, but smooth in the end.
Drinkability: Another decent beer. Admittedly one of my go-to bar beers, but I never noticed that aftertaste. Had it with Nuwaved fish and oven-baked cheesy potatoes. Good drink for salty foods.
For Jesus: Sometimes, a person can realize something new about a part of their lives that they maybe could have realized earlier. Whether this realization is good or bad, insight should always be welcome.
Appearance: A dark, warm brown. Reminiscent of cola.
Smell: Roasted coconut with a hint of bitterness.
Taste: An obvious beer flavor. Not much coconut at all.
Mouthfeel: Like Italian cream soda.
Drinkability: A good, solid beer. It can stand on its own or be paired with foods, particularly sweets or meats. I’d seek it out for a BBQ.
For Jesus: Koko Brown reminds me that I was born and raised in Hawaii, bringing me back to the wonderful times I’ve had on the island. The beer itself is bitter, but the hint of rich coconut harkens to the good times I’ve been blessed with in life, making the drinking experience quite pleasant.
TL;DR: Good. Jesus likes coconut.
The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer.
