Commercial Description:
Limited release. Swimming in a fresh water pool at the base of a cascading waterfall is what we all imagine we would find in paradise. On Maui, follow the old Hana Highway and you will find such a place – Wailua Falls. This plunging cascade of clear water is the inspiration for our Limited Release Wailua Wheat. This golden, sun colored ale has a bright, citrusy flavor that comes from the tropical passion fruit we brew into each batch. Sit back, relax and enjoy paradise anytime.

Editor's Note: Lilikoi Wheat was renamed to Wailua Wheat (both on draft and in bottle).

Pours a light yellow straw color with a thin white head and some decent carbonation. Aroma is passionfruit and not much else. Flavor is passionfruit, maybe some banana, and a little sourness. Thin mouthfeel. A little underwhelming, but not bad.

Bouteille de 12 oz. Arômes surprenants et invitants de fruit de la passion. Robe dorée et claire, peu de mousse. Mince en bouche, le fruit de la passion est beaucoup moins présent que dans l’arôme. Le blé est également assez difficile à discerner. Un peu insipide...

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear yellow color with a thin and fizzy white head. Aroma is dry with some hints of passion fruit and some lemon. Dry wheat as well. Flavor begins with a sour wheat and passion fruit flavor mixed with some hay and a touch of lemon. Sour and dry with some tartness.

Why? Why bottle this one over others? Pours hazy golden yellow with thin white head that dissipates quickly. Nose offers some passion fruit (as advertised), but also a slight lemony creme, perhaps a nod in the direction of traditiona witbier aromas. Palate is a pleasant mix of wheaty malt, more passion fruit, and a sour component. Finish is somewhat sour, maybe a little tart.

Bottle. Almost no head. The Flames lost again last night and are now down 2-0 to Chicago. Yellow with a light cloud-haze. Light grain and fruit aroma. American filtered wheat. Pretty thin and plain base lifted up by a strong citrusy flavour. Mouth drying. Not very inspiring.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a thin foamy head. Taste is of passion fruit, wheat, yeast and citrus. Similar aroma. The aroma and taste are rather mellow. Pleasant and easy to drink. Rather refreshing and enjoyable.

Gold colored and pours a fairly thick white head that leaves slight lacing. Aroma of wheat and citrus. The passion fruit is more apparent in the taste and lingers in the finish.

12oz bottle. I poured a one inch head that faded into legs. The body was clear golden. Smells of wheat and passion fruit. I like the passion fruit aroma. Taste is the same with a decent finish. Good hot day beer in small quantities.
