Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a nice level of sweetness. Riwaka and its exotic hard-to-pin down fruits dominate the hop profile. A touch of Alora bergamot on the back end. Lots of cooling pine. Nice pale ale very Riwaka.
