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).

Might be better if it was just a crazy named wheat beer without throwing in a token tropical ingredient. The citrus aftertaste is a little funky and detracts from enjoying the pretty solid wheat beer. Maybe it’s better on a beach when it’s 110F and sunny.

tmongoose (663) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - MAY 15, 2013
12oz bottle shared . Poured light clear yellow with a fast moving white head. Aroma wise i get very little malt and light fruit. The flavor is just as mild. Carbonated Nd the only fruitiness I get is on the after taste really not a lot going on.

Chuckaduck (490) - Kentucky, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle. 5/11/13. Pours a pale yellow with a thin, bubbly off-white head. Aroma is bitter, earthy, yeast, citrus, bread. Taste is mostly yeasty, bready with some hints of citrus. I pulled no fruit notes out of this other than some faint citrus. Reminds me of the macro-produced American Pale Lager. Looks like urine. Not good. Disappointing.

zacgillbanks (957) - Tyne & Wear, ENGLAND - MAY 11, 2013
Bottle from Rehills, Newcastle. A pale straw coloured beer with sweet passion fruit flavours, slight sugary fruity ‘ice pop’ notes and more sweetness on the finish.

Imported bottle. Was pleasantly surprised by this, light citrus touches with the passionfruit coming through as a long aftertaste. An enjoyable beer.

Not bad. It’s a pale ale with a bit of citrus and other fruit. Goes down easy, but nothing special.

wildbeercat (118) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - APR 28, 2013
12 fl oz / 355mL bottle into a pint glass. Served cold. Aroma: Sweet passionfruit! Smells a little bit tart/sour. Not synthetic, either. Smells like fresh POG juice. Appearance: Transparent yellow. Soda-like head fizzes down to nothing quickly. Taste: Sour/tart fruit on arrival, but turns into a nice bready, malty flavor. Pretty good. Palate: Fizzy fizzy. Feels like soda almost. Light bodied. Pretty clean. No lingering flavors. Overall: Pretty good fruit beer. The passionfruit smells sweet but tastes tart. Fruity stuff though. Nice contrast with the malt. Quite a pleasant beer.
