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).

the passion fruit has a lot of presence, obviously--like a light wheat besides this: unspectacular aroma--egg was noted; expected appearance; expected flavor--passion fruit, plain bread; feels great; i actually like it.

Nothing really sticking out on the aroma to me but it is an above average wheat with a good passion fruit flavor on the aftertaste.

2008-09-02. Bright hazy almost Gatorade like yellow body with a smallish white head. Tart fruity flavour is mild overall but strongly flavoured by the passion fruit. (6+) Aroma of sharp wheat, modest fruit that I assume to be passion fruit per the label. Average palate. Meh, not bad but the fruit is the dominant characteristic so you your enjoyment of the beer is directly proportionate to your passion for passion fruit. Bottle, Hangar on the Wharf, Juneau

A wheat beer with exotic ingredients that fails at the execution, only mildly sweet.

Disgusting beer. Pours a hazy pale straw with NO head. Smells nausiusly sweet. Tastes the same but with a semi-fruity tart finish. Body was medium thin and the carbonation was not offensive. But this was not a good beer.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Fruity crisp passion fruit aroma. Fruity and slightly tart crisp passion fruit flavor. Has a fruity tropical fruit finish.

Thanks for sharing, dansting. The body was hazy light gold with a white head. The aroma was sweet and fruity with a strong floral note. There was also some bread crust. The taste was sweet fruit with some light flowers. A decent brew.
