Alll the way from Kihei, Hawaii, comes word of limited release from one of Hawaii's largest craft breweries. Located in the windy side of Hawaii's island of Maui, in the city of Kihei lies Maui Brewing, home to their nationally famous Coconut Porter, their Big Swell IPA, and of course Imperial Coconut Porter. Today, the brewery is happy to announce the latest beer, only recently a draft-exclusive, available in cans for a limited time.

Named Lilikoi Saison, this Tart Saison will make its canned-debut in Hawaii before being released, in limited amounts wherever Maui beers are sold. Plus, for those unfamiliar with Lilikoi Saison, the brewery described it as a:

... tart Saison with passionfruit is brewed with Pilsner, Wheat, Flaked Oats, and Golden Naked Oats malt and local lilikoi.

or as Maui Brewing's QA/QC Manager, Greg Knox puts it:

The Lilikoi Saison is a refreshing and tart beer thanks to the contribution of tropical flavors from ripe lilikoi and a charismatic fermentation. It pours golden with a haze that filters the bright light of a sunny day.

At 5% ABV and 15 IBU, we have no doubt this beer will be a great alternative to concluding yard work, a day in the office, or during a pleasant sunset with friends.
