Can shared with Chalumeaux, thanks TJ! Fresh 14 day old can. Aroma has slight floral, mild pepper, mild herbal. This hop variety is certainly interesting. Kind of like the kitchen sink; citrus, herbs, floral, and maybe tropical fruit when warm. Maybe in a growler it is better.

Powerful tasting at Salesforce, can
Cloudy blond colour. Pungent fruit, like nothing I had in a long time, passion fruit, tropical, extreme, juicy, with crisp and leand malt base, and citrus peel dominance in the finish.
Wonderful

12 oz. can, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma is beautifully fragrant, full of grassy hops, tangy citrus, light pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with grassy hops, a lovely tanginess, crisp pine, and biscuity malt. Grassy and piney, with a crisp biscuity finish. Excellent.

Leafy green and almost minty notes. Murky yellow with a small white head. Herbal and very leafy with a long fun finish. Neat.

Burnt orange. Very hazy. 1 finger head. Smells like clementine and tangerine. Crispy carbonating oily. Crisp lingering finish.

Awesome beer. Great ok ey aroma. Grapefruit peel. Has more body and more flavour still than many of the NEIPA immitators. Light bitter end. Murky yellow pour with great head and lacing. Tap at Churchkey.

Pours a very hazy, peach-orange-yellow, with mid-sized, lasting head. Aroma is grass, gasoline, green onion. Flavor follows, along with quite a bit of pine/spruce hop bite at the finish. Not sure that Riwaka really makes for a good showcase hop, based on this example. Very bitter, without much else to recommend it.
