Roowaka is the next beer based off of Pete’s hoppy travels to Australia. Another Kangaroo picture (Yup, we have plenty) graces the label. Roowaka celebrates our love of the South Pacific and shines light on the elusive New Zealand Riwaka and one of our Aussie favorites, Galaxy.

We started with a Fractal fermentation and grain bill. The hop schedule uses a Citra whirlpool before a heavy dry hop of Riwaka and Galaxy. Roowaka pours a straw milky yellow with an aroma of passionfruit, assorted citrus, earthy hay, grassland, and pinch of white pepper. The rollercoaster ride of flavor starts off with notes of earthy white pepper before being quickly transformed into pops of citrus, passionfruit, white grape with, melon, and a touch of berries. The juicy buildup continues before ending with a soft and creamy finish with a touch of bitterness.

Can. Pours a very hazy yellow, medium head, quite a bit of yeast sediment. Aroma is pine, passion fruit, guava, mango, malt. Medium to full body. Flavour is malty and sweet, lots of mango, passion fruit, papaya, orange. Pine especially in the finish. Lovely double NEIPA.

Pint can at Tiny Projects, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a murky golden orange colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, rich, oaty, passionfruit, melon, tart grapefruit, light floral, dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Very grassy, dry, bitter, tad juicy too, but it’s in and out. Friday night edible and Jim Jeffries. Atlas isn’t thrilled with the loan move.
