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).

Bottle. Pours cloudy light golden with a small head. Wheat, citrus, passion fruit in the nose. Light wheaty flavor with hints of passion fruit. Nice taste up front, but finishes with a cheap lager flavor.

Bottle: Golden colored pour with medium sized white head. Hoppy, citrus, fruity nose. Malty, sweet citrusy finish. Not too bad.

12 oz, packaged on May 30, 2008. Clear golden with a small lasting spit above. Aroma is light stale wheat and a hint of catspray. Flavor is stale wheat, cardboard, slight citronella oil, and an acidic fruit juice. Tastes like an under-ripe, bitterish grapefruit-lemon juice mix. Light body is smooth, sort of oily and astringently dry.

Bottle from Timfoolery. Poured a cloudy yellow with a white head that almost disappered instantly. Had a strange smell to it of grain and yeast. I know they were going for passion fruit, but all I tasted was a wierd fruit flavor. Good thing its a limited release and not much more of this will be made.

Guess you can’t do all varieties well. A skunky dissapointment in this wheat ale from Kona. Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.

Golden witht hin white head. Aroma of wheat, lightly fruity. Taste is fizzy , wheat and light notes of passion fruit, citrus, givng the beer a nice sweet taste. Good, clean and refreshing. Not the best wheat out there, wish they had made the passion fruit a little more present.
