Double Monogamy Riwaka is a spin on our classic series of single hop IPAs — the delicious, controlled experiment designed to give us all a better understanding of what a hop can do when it flies solo.
It's been a few years since we last brewed a single-hop Riwaka IPA, so when we got a small amount of the latest batch of this lovely hop from Freestyle Hops in New Zealand we reserved it all for another single-hop beer - but this time a DOUBLE monogamy for twice the fun.
This ultra-expressive batch of hops shines in double IPA form, giving MASSIVE notes of freeze-dried strawberries, that gushing grape bubble tape gum from when you were a kid, and a fresh tropical fruit smoothie.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones with some tropical hops notes and a semi-sweet finale. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones with some tropical notes and a semi-sweet finish. Body is full for style with a creamy feel with good carbonation. Enjoyable double NEIPA with nice drinkability and huge juicy tropical notes.
