Riwaka single hop IPA

A blend of mandarin orange, tropical fruit, and an unmistakably, exceptional grapefruit citrus quality.

Poured from a 16oz can stamped PUGILIST ANDROID 08/11/22 to a Nonic at fridge temp.
A hazy yellow/gold body sits below a 3/4” white head which fades in about a minute. After that lacing is minimal to none.
The aroma is sweet with hints of peach.
The taste is drier than the aroma suggests, but stone fruit is definitely there. So is some dankness.
Mouthfeel is medium to light for a hazy.
I wish I bought more than a 4-pack.

L: Pours a pale gold color with a full haze. A gentle pour results in two fingers of pillowy, white head with good retention. As the beer goes down it leaves a mass of webbed and ringed lacing on the glass.

S: On the nose I get pungent orange complemented by passion fruit, papaya, and mango. There is also a touch of grapefruit pith.

T: Following the nose I get waves of sweet oranges and a bit of passion fruit mixed with light notes of papaya and mango along with a hint of grapefruit bitterness on the backend and finish.

F: It has a medium body with medium-light carbonation. The mouthfeel is creamy with a nice dry finish.

O: This one is a winner. Highly recommended!
