Draft 8 oz pour at Wandering Tortoise, Phoenix. Dense haze, golden orange. Lots of cream foam. Pineapple, and mixed tropical fruit throughout without being rich. Hazy but bitter. Easy drinking and refreshing. Lighter, and remains very flavorful. Solid product.

Growler thanks to Rainer. Pours a cloudy gold with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong dank, tropical fruit, pine. Medium mouthfeel with nice juicy fruit hop, resin, light bitterness, very impressive.

From notes taken while drinking on tap at the brewery. Aroma is very hop forward with a ton of tropical fruit notes and lighter pineapple. Lots of passion fruit. Faint cracker malt backbone. Pours a clear, pale yellow gold with a small white head that displays average retention. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with faint cracker and biscuit malt notes; Cellarmaker does the base malt character well. Lots of tropical fruit hop notes with some light citrus character. Medium bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a great example of Riwaka hops with tons of tropical fruit character. Standard Cellarmaker base malt notes that really let the hops shine.
