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).

Pours crystal clear which is odd for a wheat beer, gold in color, nice white head nice lighr fruit aroma, clean citrus flavor..very nice summer drinker...I could drink the crap out of this one! oh yeah this one was bottle on 5/28/09 very fresh..I don’t think this would taste as good with any age on it.

This is a must when that ever so hot summer sun comes out to play. For a wheat beer, it’s as clear as crystal, with just a hint of passion fruit. This is possibly the best summer beer you could have when that temp goes soaring to 100. Not at all what I would call a "fruity beer". It’s also a big hit with the lady’s.

It has a very bright golden color. The aroma is stale and sour. The flavor is milky and vaguely citrus.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow-golden with a moderate, disappearing white head. Aroma and flavor are sort of a blonde ale with noticeable passion fruit. Not much (any?) wheat character to back the passion fruit, which isn’t *hugely* present but has a distinct aroma in particular, making this a kind of weird beer.

bottle- not bad, but not what I was expecting- where is the fruit? Mostly sweet american wheat flavors- very little in the way of passion fruit.
