Showcasing the Riwaka hop for a well-balanced beer that is delicate in body with a mild bitterness in the finish. Ferocious aromas of orange citrus & white wine give a refreshing bright taste with just enough bite!

Can from HoTM. It pours cloudy dirty golden - blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is super fresh, green, weedy, dank, damp herbal vibes, spring onions, tropical fruit action, mango, papaya, lychee, watermelon, passion fruit, guava and um bungo. The taste is dry, nice kick of bitterness, green, weedy, dank, spring onions, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, bitter citrus peel, kumquat, tropical fruits punch, papaya, mango, five alive fruit juice and some floury bread with a green, fruity finale. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Packed full of flavour for the kinda abv. Happy how fresh this feels given it's crossed the Atlantic.

Taster showing hazy dark gold with half a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows intense notes of guava and light papaya.
The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Juicy guava forwardness throughout with light notes of papaya and a light grapefruit bitterness on the finish.

2 month old can A: Unattractive turbid sand color with short head, short retention and clingy lace. S: Astringent aroma of citrus pith and underripe pineapple. T: Similar to the nose with bitter citrus pith and zest dominant and light wafer cookie sweetness. Herbal aftertaste. M: Astringent mouthfeel as well with some hop burn. Low but stiff carbonation and lightly rough finish. O: Pretty tasty with great aroma but lacking in look and feel. OK overall.

Pours a hazy, peach-orange, with smallish head. Aroma is pretty dank, with gas/oil, white wine, citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel is smooth though a touch thin. Moderate to above levels of hop bitterness running through the finish. Part of a Sue pack with four different varieties.
