Kona Brewing Co. has introduced a limitedrelease beer, Wailua Wheat, a light, slightly tart ale with a citrusy aroma because it's flavored with passion fruit. The name celebrates Wailua Falls, on the road to Hana, Maui.

This is the second limited-release beer for Kona Brewing; the other, Pipeline Porter, claimed the 15th-highest case sales of new craft-beer brands in U.S. supermarkets, according to a study from the Brewers Association. The beer will be available now through September. It will be sold in six-packs and on tap at Kona Brewing Co. locations on the Big Island and O'ahu.
