Hula
Hula is the Bavarian-style wheat beer of the Kailua-Kona brewery, brewed with wheat, pale and a little Munich malt and served unfiltered at its pubs. It pours a hazy gold under a tall white head. The house weizen yeast carries the aroma with ripe banana, green apple and a spicy side of clove and a pinch of nutmeg, with a light citrus lift. Munich malt adds a soft bready note. The body is medium and creamy, the hops barely show, and the finish is fruity, lightly spicy and gently dry.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hula
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
