A big and bold DIPA that has been hopped exclusively with Riwaka hops. These impart masses of tropical fruit flavours in the form of mango and papaya, with some grapefruit and peach notes to boot. Light peppery notes round out the juicy flavours, over a low bitterness on the finish.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a mild haze on this orange beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Riwaka, the more I taste, the more I appreciate what an absolutely enigmatic hop this is. Slightly salty lychee into floral ripe stone fruits, a mild but rich honey streak. Airy semi dry finish brings a mild hop spice nip. Good brew

Tropical fruit, lime, tangerine & passionfruit aromas. Pineapple, Passionfruit, lime & pink grapefruit flavours. Big juicy fruity mouthfeel. Tangy hoppy finish. These cats certainly know their round a dipper. Top marks.
