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).

One of my favorite fruits is the passion fruit, especially when you buy it fresh off the tree at a market in the Caribbean and have them cut it open for you so you can eat it right there on the spot. So in 1996, when I spent several days in Hawaii, I fell in love with this local beer called 'Lilikoi Wheat.' Now here it is 11 years later and this Kona beer is finally available on the mainland as a seasonal. And I'm sad to say that my impression is much less favorable this time around. On the nose, this beer smells like your standard American Wheat beer, but the tart fruitiness of passion fruit is almost able to offset the cheap wheat aroma and provide at least some level of enjoyment for fans of this fruit, though the underlying American Wheat aroma is still what registers the most. Each sip begins with a similar balance of gently tart passion fruit and wheat beer flavor, but the fruit fades in the evolution for a 'cheap beer' finish and a pretty awful after taste. Dark straw in color and fairly clear in appearance. The small, white head fully dissolves fairly quickly. Body is predictably light as is usual for the style, and carbonation is medium. While the fruit is still in play, the mouthfeel is fairly refreshing, but the finish and after taste lead to staleness on the palate. So after such fond memories, this has been a disappointment, so either I didn't know any better back then (likely), or this just isn't as good as it used to be. I guess the plan should be, drink it cold and drink it fast.

bonfirestation (16) - AUSTRALIA - FEB 14, 2019
UPDATED: FEB 14, 2019 Very nice wheat beer. Smooth with a European beer feel to it. Well balanced with slight tropical notes to finish

2.5
tennisjoel (1933) - Rochester, Minnesota, USA - DEC 17, 2018
UPDATED: DEC 17, 2018 Pretty non descript appearance. Gold body with a thin white head. Very faint passion fruit nose. Flavor is slightly bitter with a macro beerish flavor. Inoffensive. Not my favorite from the mixed pack that I purchased.

On tap at a beerfest. Lots of bloody Mary's and other beer here. Not sure what else to write to get to 75.
