Hypa XIV

Hazy, golden colour with an orange hue, a warm-white frothy head, good retention and nice sticky, creamy lacing. Orange juice aromas with tropical notes, a touch of stone fruits and hints of caramel. Flavours of citrus (lemon zest, orange juice), stone fruits (mango) and mild tropical fruit (peach) with a tad grassiness. This hoppiness creates a decent slow building dryness in the end, after a juicy mouthfeel. A good juicy, fruity NEIPA that goes down well, with a mild dry finish and all well-blended.

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 fresh mango/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 fresh mango/tropical notes and a semi-sweet finish. Body is full for style with a creamy feel with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with nice drinkability and I really enjoyed the amplified tropical notes from the Riwaka hops.
