Kona Big Wave Golden Ale clone this appoximation comes very close to the real thing. I did change the hops a little to suit my taste To be a little closer to the original sub Citra for the Lemon Drop and replace the Mosaic with Galaxy

Notes:

Tastes very close to the real thing. the lemon drop hops gives it a tiny bit more lemon citrus aroma on the nose. Very happy with the results. Very well liked by everyone that tries it. Great go to refresher beer.
