Lilikoʻi Kea

◎ Appearance

A hazy pale straw color with bright, translucent clarity and a fine white head that clings gently to the glass. The haziness derives from the wheat and unfiltered character typical of the style, while modest carbonation produces a soft, creamy collar that fades gradually.

◌ Aroma

Passion fruit leads prominently on the nose, delivering a tart tropical character that sets the tone immediately. Behind the fruit sits a gentle coriander-driven lemon zest with subtle floral spice, while grains of paradise contribute a warm, peppery undertone. A faint herbal whisper from Saaz hops provides dry mineral restraint.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the same forward passion fruit tartness that greeted the nose, supported by a soft, bready malt body with wheat's characteristic lightness. Coriander and grains of paradise develop a lemony, peppery complexity mid-palate, while Saaz provides dry herbal definition without aggressive bittering—bitterness remains restrained at just 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and spice interplay to dominate.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lightly tart, echoing the passion fruit character without lingering heavily. A dry herbal edge accompanies the fruit's fade, creating a clean, refreshing conclusion.
