Riwaka Nebula
Equilibrium Brewery

Pours a very cloudy golden color with a thick foamy head. Head retention is very good. Lacing is as well. Nice citrus and slightly floral aroma. Big juicy taste. Citrus and Mango. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Poured hazy golden with a thick, foamy white head that sticks around and paints the glass with steady lacing. The beer has a glowing, cloudy appearance with active carbonation rising through the haze.

Aroma opens bright and expressive. Strong citrus, ripe mango, and a light floral touch lead the way. Riwaka brings its usual mix of lime zest, tropical sweetness, and a small herbal note. Idaho 7 and Citra fill in the background with orange peel and soft stone fruit.

Flavor stays right in line with the nose. Juicy citrus and mango dominate, supported by a gentle tropical sweetness that never turns sticky. Riwaka provides the main character, while Idaho 7 adds a mild dank-fruit layer and Citra contributes familiar citrus highlights. The overall profile is flavorful but still light and refreshing.

Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. The texture is smooth and soft, finishing clean with just enough hop bitterness to keep things balanced.

Overall:
A crisp and juicy hazy IPA that showcases Riwaka without becoming heavy. Bright, balanced, and easy to drink. It delivers clean flavors, glowing haze, and a smooth mouthfeel, making it a solid choice for anyone who enjoys a lighter, fruit-driven IPA with real hop character.

 

 

Ghost in the Machine vibes with some extra funk. Very good

Primarily Riwaka with a little Idaho 7 and Citra hops. Pretty light but tasty on the flavor front.
