Equal parts malted barley and malted wheat make up the base for this beer. Noble hop, tettnang, provides the bitterness and small additions of perle and centennial in the whirlpool balance out the aroma. An addition of sweet orange peel and strawberry puree prior to fermentation make this cloudy American style hefeweizen the ultimate in refreshment.

15th December 2022, part of a flight at the Waikiki Lahaina Brewpub. Hazed golden yellow pour, white crown. No clove or banana esters in the nose, a little wheat and allspice maybe. Not too sure what to make of this, I suppose it's a Hawaii Island version of the classic German style using local ingredients and brewing techniques. Not to my taste, sorry. Scored objectively!

12 oz can poured at home, gifted by Hanna. Thanks! Thick appearance, murky apple golden pour, a patchy foam head. Floral like aroma, some banana like fruit, and a sweet gum idea as well. Never really sought after the style, but looked forward to this one, and the prospective Hawaiian twist to it. It sure does have one, if it's not just my imagination. Creamy hefe. Flavorful, and tropical. Interesting for sure.
