Pours a gold colour, clear with lovely dense creamy head on top. Pretty nice, hand-pull look bitter.
Smells fairly plain with the exception of the Riwaka hops. Oh, how we all missed you during the shortage! Touch of puffed rice but then passionfruit, pineapple and all manner of nice tropical notes. Touch of cedar wood as well. Light, but fragrant and inviting.
Hops are more subdued on the palate, which I guess was to be expected. More of that puffed rice character with light passionfruit, pineapple towards the mid-palate. Nice subtle bitterness, true to style but still could be slightly more cleansing.
Oh dear the mouthfeel is pretty poor. Just watery, and flat. No presence at all. I guess it's stylistically OK but it really could have augmented the palate with a bit more texture.
Another solid, chuggable beer from Townshends. Not exciting, but enjoyable.
