Riffage
E9 Brewing Co.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy orange pour, soft, silky head. Dank, tropical aroma, over ripe fruit. Taste is more subdued, not reflective of the aroma at all. Light fruity flavors, electric buzz from the hops, and seems thin, watery.

they keep coming and i keep buying! this one isnt the prettiest to look at, a little thicker than others have been, duller in luster, but still with a gorgeous tall airy white couple inches of froth, leaving intricate web lacing on the edges of the glass as i cruise it on down, but still, perhaps a little more sedimented than i love to look at. its southern hemisphere hops though, at least they gave us that on the can for once, but it would not have been hard to pick them out without the tip either, they drip in white grape, stone fruit, and juicy ripe mango, both in nose and taste, if i had to guess i might propose galaxy and rakau, or maybe vics secret and nelson, just put it on the can! its a cool mix, maybe something from oz and something from new zealand working together, although this is full speculation. some vinous element, some sweet yellow peach flesh, floral honey, but also a little medicinal bitterness as it warms, a hint of lime leaf, orange, and a slight weed oily linger, yummy and layered. the grain is not light in feel but its mild in flavor, white wheat and pale two row maybe, simple but right for this, could be cleaned up slightly, but more in filtration than in the ferment, which i think is right on, like all their stuff. maybe a little more carbonation to boost this, but it is distinct, affordable, and delicious, as most of them are from these guys. nice brew here, a fine example of the style and a cool hop profile overall.
