Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a decent light creamy sweetness. Riwaka brings crisp cooling pine, a fair hop spice leathering and a little savoury hop. Then we get into hop fruits, slightly salty lychee, a little finger lime and a mild honeyish tropical fruits vibe. Usual enigmatic Riwaka! Light finish leaves a hop spicy linger. Nice!

Pours murky pale yellow gold with a thin white cap that fades to lacing. Aroma is ripe stone fruit, dank hop, oat cream, earthy notes. Taste is overripe stone fruit, dank hops, oat cream, a little booze burn, lychee. Dry bitter dank finish with more ripe fruit and a boozy tickle. Lovely

Fruity, dank, chewy. Even thicker than V19 IMO
