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).

Sampled at the Northern Virginia Summer BrewFest (2008). Maybe I have a soft spot for fruity beers. I thought this one was pretty fantastic. A decent wheat beer with a touch of citrus in the form of tropical passion fruit.

A wheat beer with exotic ingredients that fails at the execution, only mildly sweet.

Disgusting beer. Pours a hazy pale straw with NO head. Smells nausiusly sweet. Tastes the same but with a semi-fruity tart finish. Body was medium thin and the carbonation was not offensive. But this was not a good beer.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Fruity crisp passion fruit aroma. Fruity and slightly tart crisp passion fruit flavor. Has a fruity tropical fruit finish.

Thanks for sharing, dansting. The body was hazy light gold with a white head. The aroma was sweet and fruity with a strong floral note. There was also some bread crust. The taste was sweet fruit with some light flowers. A decent brew.

Slightly cloudy golden color. Looks like a witte. Sweet aroma with a hint of tropical fruits. Clean but weak fruit flavors. Weak body. Disappointed.
