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).

not too much to say about this, its got a harsh smell of wheat and fruit that is really intense. taste feels very weak in feel with flavor and a slight unpleasant taste.

Bottle from BevMo. I thought the passion fruit meshed well with the lager taste. Overall, not bad.

Bottle. Clear deep gold color with 1-finger white head. Aroma of hops and citrus, slight honey, slight passion fruit. Tastes of pale malt at first, with mid-palate honey, hop, citrus and some mild finishing fruit. Medium palate heft. The fruit is integrated well into this beer.

Very natural passionfruit aroma and flavour with a light wheaty malt base. Very refreshing, very well balanced in my opinion. We ate a lot of fresh passionfruit when we lived in Australia, and this brought back some terrific memories (extra points for stirring nostalgia).

12oz a special sample bottle from the World Beer Cup, a gift from Bill. Pours yellow wiht lots of carbonation and a bright white head. Nose has a low fruitiness. Taste is dead. Craptastic.
