Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of quickly dissipating off-white foam. Lots of guava on the nose, especially after it warms a bit. Palate has nice passionfruit and citrus notes. Tart tropical fruit on the palate, but milder on the finish. Passionfruit really stands out towards the end.

Opaque. Medium head but it dies pretty quickly. Bright peachy, lychee, type of hop nose -to me this is a standout rakau expression. I don'�t remember a beer that does that hop better. Cantaloupe -I am wishing I had this on Sunday morning not Saturday afternoon. It'�s still a hazy, so a bit muddled on the palate. The hop is good but not nearly as bright. Solid work overall but the aroma in particular.

Opaque, a bit dull, thick head. Aroma has a spicy hop note. On the palate, alcohol, indistinct hop, light fruitiness. Wouldn'�t say phantasm, though.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a glowing hazy straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Tropical fruit bouquet with starfruit, pineapple, citrus and papaya all present. Similar notes on the palate with a nice dank note to balance out the tropical fruit perceived sweetness. Finish is balanced with a nice dank note. Great stuff.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a glowing, hazy straw gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Mango, papaya and white grapefruit on the nose. Crisp and clean on the palate with a muted citrus note alongside some tropical fruit skin dryness. Drying finish that is not overpowering. Very nice.
