Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#90. Very sticky-sweet brew, but also a very stated tropical fruit beer, in both aroma and taste. Lifecraft supplied beer in Cowes for basecamp consumption by the water.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Pretty much a clear gold beer, very small and very short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth but with good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light smooth pale malts, a nice light sweetness. Riwaka brings cooling pine, somewhat generic but bright hop fruits. Whisper of hop spice. Pleasant but doesn't shout Riwaka that loudly.

440ml can. Clear golden, thin white head. Aroma of biscuity malts and a strong hop presence in the form of zesty orange and grapefruit. Taste is the same, nice pale malt base, biscuity, orange, grapefruit, zesty, light bitter finish. Medium bodied. A fantastic Pilsner. Genuinely one of the nicest Riwaka beers I've had - perhaps it's more suited to lagers than IPAs!?
