Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 03/12/24. Murky orange topped with a white head that thins in time. Nose carries a big pissy Riwaka punch, grass, stone fruit, white grape, lychee, pine resin. Taste comprises stone fruit, dank spike, pine needle, guava, lychee, white grape, grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with Kiwi loaded hop bitterness allied to a balanced boost. Solid punchy Riwaka fuelled DIPA.

500ml can. Murky orange, white head. Aroma of guava, mango, a touch vinous. Taste is sweet and creamy tropical fruits, guava, mango, lychee and peaches, a little NZ dankness, white wine, and almost none of the horrible burnt bacon notes that so often plague beers using this hop. Full bodied and smooth. This is one of the best examples of Riwaka I've had to date.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth, airy and slightly soft palate, decent fine carbonation emerges late on. Smooth pale malts, a good creamy sweetness, never over cooked. Guava led slightly ripe tropical fruits, rich tropical fruit smorgasbord, a little sweet lychee. The light crisp finish brings a fair dose of hop spice. A lovely Riwaka showcase!
