 Mike’s Review
This was a 12 oz. brown glass bottle poured into a pint glass.  The beer has an odd light lime green color to it that reminds me of watered down Mountain Dew with a white foam head that dissipated quickly.  The aroma is very malty with mild fruity undertones.  The taste is similar to the aroma with a grainy malty taste with decent bitterness for a lager.  It develops into a pleasant light lemon flavor late in the taste that lingers for some time afterwards.  This is a pretty good beer to have while sitting around and watching some TV or relax with friends, very drinkable.

Matt’s Review
Kona Brewing has had some interesting brews thus far; I couldn't wait for their Longboard Lager. The color of a beer is a real light gold with a great layer of foam. The aroma is pretty grainy. It has a very sweet taste to it with a late bitter aftertaste. This is a decent lager; I am surprised there isn't a twist to this lager like most of Kona's beer.
