Brew: Kona Wailua Wheat Ale
Brewed by: Kona Brewing Co.; Kona, Hawaii USA
Style: wheat ale - american wheat
Glassware: Best served in a pint glass, mug, or in a weizen glass.
Personal Notes: This was my first Hawaiian brew and overall it was 'ok'. The brew pours up a very clear, almost peach-like body but not a thick head like I was anticipating (and it dissipates very quickly!). Scents and flavors of sweet malts and various citrus fruits and a light tinge of hops make for a fairly balanced brew. The passion fruit was very dominant which for me made it almost 'too fruity' to enjoy; but others may be looking for something along those lines. It would be a good session brew on a hot summers day.
