Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: A great, above average, pale ale with some hoppy and great flavor. Great to have a solid, local beer from Hawaii that my buddy brought back with him. I hear a lot of good things about the brew scene in Hawaii so makes me happy to try a solid brew from there. Looking forward to trying more from Koholā.
Can art: Really digging the can itself. Like a throw back to the old style cans. Super cool. The design is solid too. Awesome

Brewery: Alvarado Street Brewery – Monterey, CA
Brewery IG: @alvaradostreetbrewery
———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: Solid hazy with lots of hoppiness. After reading the description I found it makes sense as there’s fresh hop oil added which certainly has added some hoppy bitterness. Very interesting brew with the Kveik yeast.
Can Art: Loving the old school VHS tape design.
Drinkage: 27 days after can date.
