We rummaged in our cabinet of curiosities and pulled out perhaps our most interesting oddity. A plethora of hop products is topped off with a double dry hop of Riwaka T90 and El Dorado LUPOMAX®. Golden Naked Oats and Maris Otter barley create a pillowy, chewy base, which is shrouded by a tropical haze.

Can, a little shy of 5 weeks from packaging. Nearly opaque orange with a gone in seconds flash of white bubbles. Brooding tropical aroma with mango skin, lime leaf, oranges, Dubbin, brusque pineapple. Juicy with low carbonation. Not very sweet and the fruit is punchier and toppier than the aroma suggests. Not a lot of bitterness but hints of sharper pineapple provides some sort of a finish. Missed the first; see there is already a third of these. Not astonishingly, this seems like a (promising) pilot brew.
