Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes…White Pointer is a New England Style Double India Pale Ale, double dry hopped with Simcoe, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Citra hops. The White Pointer, more commonly known as the Great White, was a symbol that represented our head brewer during his homebrewing days. This beer is an ode to that time, and our brewer’s love of these toothy denizens of the deep.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad Riverlands beer. This keeps the street going. Borderline New England style, hazy, tangy citrus notes on the nose and tongue. Flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, orange. Medium body, good alcohol presence, mouthwatering finish. Very tasty. Actually enjoyed this more than the Ghost in the Laboratory from Parish/Equilibrium that I had last night.
