Pour: Hazy orange with a white head
Smell: Herbal Riwaka notes with passionfruit and melon interwoven with resin and bubblegum notes
Taste: Passion fruit and light herbal notes lead, before malt sweetness comes in mid palate, before bitterness comes riding in on a pina colada wave.
Finish: Slightly warming with a tropical hop linger

Can from rep. Into an IPA glass at just on chilled. Another hazy by looks and aroma. Was hoping for a West Coast! Turbid, milky caramel body. Headless and still. Weedy, stale hops and straw on the nose melded with drabby, fell fruit like passionfruit, pineapple and peach. Drabby pineapple juice dominated palate. Not pleasant. Thin; lifeless in feel. No hop definition, no hop bitterness and very little in the finish to satiate. Just dull. Even the 8.5%ABV doesn't show. Milky, yeasty with a touch of morning juice to save it. What is happening over at Rocky Ridge? This was just a dull filler. Pina colada, yes. IIPA, no!!!! Tragic. (50cL can, BB 04/08/2025)
