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).

Cloudy pale yellow with a lasting white head. Juicy aroma of passion fruit. Dry and tart with obvious passion fruit flavour

On tap at Nashville’s Music City Brew Festival. Really weird! Really earthy hops, though i wasn’t getting any fruit. Pretty refreshing.

12 ounce from a 6 pack. Grainy, lightly sweet, lightly metallic aroma. Mild lemon, but that may be the passionfruit or whatever the hell they use. Transparent golden body with a small, limp white head. A filtered wheat...doh. Starts a little sweet, bland, and cereal like. There is a little fruit acidity late. Otherwise, not much going on and really fucking boring.

Traffic-light yellow, creamy head, lots of carbonation. Dry wheaty aroma, followed by berryish fruit. The taste is sour fruit first, sweet berry later. The sourness/sweetness balance is necessary. Akin to an alcopop/malternative. Feels milky and fizzy, dry at the swallow. A refreshing wheat beer; better enjoyed in the heat than analyzed.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of straw and citrus and just a hint wheat. The flavor is sweet with wheaty notes combined with yeast and fruits - peaches and oranges, leading to a dry wheaty finish. A bit weird fruitiness, but thirst quenching.

A golden appearance with a white head. Not sure how to define passion fruit but I get a hint of apricots and citrus and not much else. The flavor is pretty much the same, boring with a hint of that passion fruit in there. This is like sunny delight turned into beer. Kind of generic, fake, but refreshing nonetheless. They do better!

Pours a two finger white head that fades quickly to a ring leaving traces of lace. Almost clear, pale amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Passion fruit nose. Flavor is dominated by the passion fruit, any hops are hidden. Another good lawn mower beer. $1.75 for a 12oz bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT. Bottled Apr 12, 09.
