A Hazy DIPA with Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka.
"This DIPA is brewed with the haze kings from Catalonia, SOMA!. We both love hops from New Zealand, so we went with Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka for their expressive hop aromas. Expect loads of stone fruit, grapefruit, honeydew melon, and that good old NZ funk!"

Sample, thanks fonefan! Cloudy bronze colour, small head. Generous aroma of passionfruit, grapes and guava. Sweet with above medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with guava, mango and nectarine. Mildly peppery finish with low bitterness.

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, dense, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Rather weak, fruity hoppy and slightly musty, yeasty funky aroma, notes of yellow stone fruit, some melon, a touch of grapefruit. Taste is way more intense with fruity hoppy notes and better integrated, cleaner funky aspects on full bodied oaty and wheaty malty basis, notes of yellow stone fruit, grapefruit, some melon, some residual sweetness, some fruit acidic and citric tartness, some zesty grapefruit rind bitterness as well.
Slightly acid thinned, creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rather weak nose with a minimally unpleasant musty touch, better taste mostly due to a full body able to carry the hoppy fruitiness - pretty good overall.

Murky yellow colour, small steady white head. Grapefruits, some tropical fruits in the nose, even light dankyness just after pouring. Light to medium-bodied. Quite grapefruity flavour, some sweetish tropical fruityness but mainy citrusy flavours. As such ok.
