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).

It’s October and I’m drinking this (hold over from summer). When it’s hot out, this is a good beer to have. The passion fruit with the wheat beer works. Fruity, sweet and somewhat crisp flavor.

12oz bottle. Slightly hayzy yellow with a lasting head. Wheaty, grainy aroma with some fruitiness. Lots of wheat in the flavor, with a hint of passion fruit, Light and carbonated body. Refreshing. I can hang, but nothing I would go for in the future.

Numerous taps including Yard House Scottsdale, Pour 24 in Vegas. Oddly thick nose for a wheat beer - not complex, but actually foggy and thick: pineapple, flour, wheat, orangey passion fruit smell. Flavors of the same with the texture of that large-can pineapple juice we used to mix with in college. Refreshing beer - JUST this side of cloying.

Bottle. Strong passion fruit, orange and wheat malt aroma. Hazy yellow-brown with minimal head. Passion fruit/pineapple and wheat malt flavor. Nice light beer for the beach.

Had this on a hot night with wings and nachos. Poured a pale golden color with thin white head that lingered slightly and left okay lacing. Aroma was somewhat fruity, but not overwhelming, and I could still smell the wheat as well. Mouthfeel crisp and refreshing, and the flavor followed the fruity wheat of the nose. Thirst quenching finish of medium duration. Not a bad summer cooler. and

(Bottle) Thanks to Enniskillen for providing this beer. Cheers Chris? Pours a thin, white frothy head atop a golden body of tiny sediment. Nose of thin Seville oranges: tart, light. An interesting and extremely drinkable brew. The texture is somewhat tonic and the finish of lemon, cardboard and cheese. Rather poor. 5/2/4/1/9

[1649-20080902] 355mL bottle. Wheaty fruit juice aroma has plastic and floral passionfruit soap notes. Slightly hazy, "Gatorade" yellow lime body with a quick foamy white head. Lots of passionfruit juice in the flavour with a wheat base. Light body is waterly acidic. Would have been hard to say passionfruit if not told first by the bottle, but it has a definite presence which could be better integrated.
