4.17/5  rDev -6.1%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Cloudy orange, big head.

Smell: Green melon, pith, not too strong.

Taste: Mild sweetness, then lots of melon flavor. Not super sweet, melon with an underlying mild to moderate bitterness. Very interesting flavor.

Overall: A single from a mixed 4 pack, this might be my first Riwaka hopped beer. Big time melon flavor with surprising balance—not too sweet, not too acidic/bitter. Very good beer.

NEIPA hopped with Riwaka hops....

Appearance: Milky looking orange body. If a creamsicle melted and blended together, it would look like this. Nice thick froth of ivory white head. Lacing is droopy but pretty full.
Aroma: Crushed gooseberry, lime, kiwi, citrus, Very fragrant
Flavor: Citrus, kiwi, gooseberry, pink grapefruit and a little woody. Hop oils galore. Beautiful. Love Riwaka.
Mouthfeel: Soft and luscious feel to it. Velvety. Medium bodied and on the low end of carbonation, but still fitting.
Drinkability: High drinkability factor. Tastes great and goes down easy. Riwaka is my 2nd favorite hop after Nelson Sauvin. Such a unique and oily flavor profile.
