Kona Brewing Co. - Wailua Wheat Ale w/Passionfruit review

Type: Wheat Ale

ABV: 5.4%

Sight: Bright White-Yellow almost completely see-thru. A very thin head pours, then disappears very quickly. No lacing on the surface whatsoever.

Aroma: Very strong wheat essence with a citrus over-scent. Not pulling the passionfruit in the inhale, but getting more lemon.

Taste: Grains and yeasts are the main tastes i get up front. A sweetness of citrus then comes over the top to take over the whole thing. I assume that is the passionfruit. It is nice and mild...just enough to cover the grains but not too much to offend.

Overall: A refreshing and clean brew that has a nice light mouthfeel and almost no aftertaste. The passionfruit is definitely there but it isn't a distraction, its an addition to the smoothness of the beer. A great brew for the summer season or a regular day in the tropics.

Score: 8.6/10
