16 oz. can from HyVee, Ankeny. $4.99. Canned 10/29/22. A nice grapefruit nose under the pop top. More grapefruit smell in the glass, where it pours like a fizzy grapefruit juice. And that's basically the taste. Tart grapefruit, with some hop bitterness added. If that's what you like, okay. I just tried when I'm in a good mood to try a fruited IPA, maybe make a paloma with it.

Pours a hazy thick purplish-red from a can. Plummy, berry aroma. Similar flavor but rather short-lived. Thin and a little watery. Good beer.

Tavour: pours hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is citrus, light tropical notes. Riwaka is restrained and does not take over (a lesson to Hill Farmstead and Other Half, who overdo it often). Taste is sweet, light bitterness and tang. Solid.
