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. Small head with dark golden color. Tastes of wheat with slight citrus flavor, but not enough to be especially noticeable. Overall pretty average wheat beer. First one was good, second not so much.

bottle. small/average fizzy white head into not quite clear golden body. aromas of passion fruit? (a bit off putting to me) and light perfumey hops. this one was not for me.

Clear golden with a frothy white head. Nice tart wheat, tropical fruit aroma. Smooth medium body. Surprising good taste is tart wheat with a prominent passion and red grapefruit. Nice fruit flavors here.

This beer was pretty good. It was nice and refreshing, medium to light-bodied with a mild maltiness in the body and citrus, kiwi, and passion fruit (especially noticeable at the finish). Good and refreshing when the classics are not available.

Sampled at the Northern Virginia Summer BrewFest (2008). Maybe I have a soft spot for fruity beers. I thought this one was pretty fantastic. A decent wheat beer with a touch of citrus in the form of tropical passion fruit.

Enjoyed this summer brew on draught at Taco Mac in Suwanee GA. Citrusy, smooth, tasted very good on this hot day. Would have again.

Pours a cloudy honey-yellow with a fairly thick, fine-bubbled white head. Aroma is strong and wheaty with a decided citrus component - but some of this may have come from the orange slice served with it. Flavor is wheaty and well-rounded with a citrus overtone. Lively, refreshing, smooth, an excellent summer brew.

looks nice, hazy frosted yellow almost amber head looks nice and dies fast leaving a lot of lace. aroma is slightly metalic with some citrius notes light grain and perhaps some far of touch of hops. smooth wheat beer, and much less fruit than expected. yes its light, perhaps its a chick beer, but no doubt well done. a touch of passion fruit is apparent but not much more
