Brewery draught, 6/1/25.
As pictured.
Big, big honey and tropical fruit salad. Almost no sulfur from the Riwaka this year which is weird to me, but maybe preferable to most people. Vanilla, papaya, dessert Riesling and more honey. Clean and aromatic, though seemingly light on the acidity.
Not so in flavor, as it's got zesty guava and mineral with big dryness on the crackery, bready finish. Easygoing with plentiful tropical fruit. Very light, though. Not thin or watery, but just very low on malt flavor. Clean and snappy, though, with nothing weird going on.
