This Double IPA starts with a blend of Citra and Simcoe hops. Then base then receives a large addition of Riwaka hops in the dry hop. Super juicy with strong tropical vibes.

Intense citrusy/earthy(?) hop aroma and flavor. Riwaka never quite sticks to its published profile of grapefruit, passionfruit and tropical. More funky than anything else. Medium bodied and fairly smooth.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow/orange pour, small foamy head, fades to fine layer. Fruity aroma, tropical edging out citrus by a nose. Taste stays with the tropical, mango, papaya, juicy. Tasty

This one pours a very hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells grapefruity, but soft, with peach, passionfruit, and a just a general tropical vibe.
OldManBearMa continues to be Mortalis’ best IPA series. This is exceedingly juicy and soft, but with a pleasantly zesty bitterness right on the finish.
This is light bodied, creamy, and quite drinkable.
Riwaka hops tends to be a favorite for me, and this does not change that for me.
