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).

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 16, 2009
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.

Oakes (10009) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 2, 2008
Hazy straw-amber. Very subtle passion fruit aroma underneath a somewhat crackery, metallic maltiness. Heavy passion fruit taste, balanced by crackery malt but there is no semblance of integration, just two components clashing. Fairly dry finish for a fruit beer. Not much wheat.
