Armsby draught, 12/30/24.
Moderately-to-heavily hazy, blonde-brass-golden. Large, creamy, white head.
Earthy with heavy mineral (fairly prominent sulfur) and unripe tropical fruit skins. Very Riwaka-redolent, though not as much pure matchstick or overall intensity as that. Light honey and cracker from the easygoing, seemingly well-attenuated malts.
Soft, smooth, almost wheat-like texture with high attenuation but good suppleness to the body. Earthy, mineral/sulfur character with moderate tropical fruit, light pine-like acidity and lingering unripe tropical fruit/pineapple notes. Just a touch bitter/twangy at points, with the sulfury character and bone dry attenuation somewhat exacerbating this.
