HONOLULU (HI Now) - Born on the Big Island and crafted for those moments when you want something refreshing, flavorful, and alcohol-free, Kōlea Hop Water is quickly becoming Hawai’i’s favorite alternative to beer. This crisp, hop-infused seltzer delivers the complexity and character of an IPA—without the alcohol, sugar, or calories. Perfect for anyone who loves bold, craft-inspired flavor but wants a lighter, more hydrating option. No buzz, no hangover—just pure island refreshment.
But don’t expect the typical IPA bitterness. Kōlea takes a more refined approach, dialing back the intensity of hops and instead highlighting bright, piney, and fruit-forward notes. The original lineup features Classic and Blood Orange, and now, two new tropical flavors—Lychee and Papaya—have just launched. Crafted exclusively for the Hawai’i market, they’re already turning heads and refreshing palates across the islands.
