Kona Wailua Wheat Ale

20110514:
In my notes, I wrote that I couldn't taste any passion fruit flavor. However, I later realized (20110522) that I was actually thinking of dragon fruit and I don't remember if I've ever had real passion fruit.*

Having too much trouble detecting the flavors of the beer, I neither expressed like nor dislike for this beer.

*[20180712] I definitely had the pleasure of eating passion fruit during Fall 2017, and I don't recall having eaten it that. It's so delicious!

Paradise Found
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 Ale. This golden, sun colored ale has a bright, citrus flavor that comes from the tropical passion fruit we brew into each batch. Sit back, relax and enjoy paradise anytime.
Available from March to September

SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRINGS
Wailua Wheat Ale is an excellent beer to enjoy after a day on the water or at the beach (or even after mowing the lawn or playing softball in your "pau hana" summer league!). It typically pairs well with lighter fare like grilled fish and shrimp, roasted chicken, salads and Asian foods. Perhaps even a dish of vanilla ice cream.
