KONA BREWING CO. - BIG WAVE GOLDEN ALE I've always been a fan of Kona Brewing. I have been lucky enough to visit the Big Island in Hawaii 5-6 times where they started (but not for 5 years) and have visited the brewery multiple times. They just started distribution in Minnesota last year, which made me happy. I usually have some type of Kona beer in the fridge at all times. Smell is floral and fruity with a little bit of honey. Taste is mainly fruity and piney hops with a little lingering bitterness, but the taste is not quite as good as the smell. Not bad, but not great either. Overall its nicely balanced, light, refreshing and easy drinking. Could use a little more flavor to make it stand out though, but as it is, its a fine choice as a summer beer.
JOHN FOGERTY - WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE This release from just a couple of months ago is amazing. It has 2 new songs and 14 of Fogertys biggest hits collaborating with some of the biggest artists out there today. Fogerty has been writing some of best songs out there for some time and each guest adds their own touch on these remakes. One mark of a great song is that it can be reworked and still sound fresh as the original. Goal accomplished. These collaborations bring some new life to these classics and may introduce some younger people to Fogertys great catalog. The whole album is really good, but my favorites are:
Fortunate Son w/ Foo Fighters
Wrote A Song For Everyone w/ Miranda Lambert and Tom Morello
Bad Moon Rising w/ Zac Brown Band
Born On The Bayou w/ Kid Rock
Who'll Stop The Rain w/ Bob Seger
Fun album, check it out.
