Can you say it? “Riwakaroo” (Ree-wah-kuh-ah-ru) is the next beer in the series that points back to Pete’s recent travel to the Southern Hemisphere. A mother and a smirking joey grace the label on a beer we are very excited to bring you. Riwakaroo is the TIPA version of Roowaka and pours a milky and super hazy yellow. The aroma is explosive with a straight OJ and mango nose. The first sip is pulpy with big notes of grandma’s fresh squeezed OJ, passionfruit, grasslands, grapes, and berries. The melding of balanced sweet fruit comes together in a thick and creamy finish and our big #EQjuice profile with just a touch of bitterness. This beer is a downright crusher and the masked ABV may have you chilling in a pouch in no time if you’re not careful.

A: The beer is very hazy and a bit cloudy orange in color. It poured with a half finger high off white head that gradually died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of grapefruit are present in the nose along with notes of passion fruit and hints of peaches.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the flavors of peaches are stronger and stand out in front of those of the passion fruit. There is a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied, rather juicy, and a bit crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer tastes a bit strong but does a very good job at masking most of the alcohol from the taste - it tastes more like a Double IPA compared to a Triple IPA.
Serving type: can

Pours a hazy dark orange with a finger sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace as it slowly settles. 4.25
Smell is bold melon, guava, apricot, marijuana, and some grapefruit rind. 4.25
Taste follows cantaloupe, guava, apricot, jolly rancher, marijuana, and red grapefruit. 4.25
Mouthfeel is big, sticky not dry, soft carbonation, and at 10% ABV it goes down pretty easy considering how big and bold it is. 4.25
Overall this is a really nice NETIPA from Equilibrium Brewery. Thank you Timothy Dutile for this excellent beer. 4.25
