Vibrations - Riwaka
Barclay Brewing Co.

Bought a 16 oz. can on a short trip to N Y at Half Time distributors in Mamaroneck NY. Looks like this is one of a series of single-hop NEIPAs from this brewery. Unusual can design - black background with writing and design features in a color that you can barely make out through the blackness!!! It took me a while to even find the .abv on the can!!! This beer features Riwaka hops and, of course, the grapefruit stands out among the flavors and aromas. This beer shows a dull, straw yellow color and a big foamy white head with good lacing and head retention when poured into a pint glass. The aroma and flavor are NEIPA all the way. The "dankness" is not emphasized but the citrus, mild bitterness and drinkability are there. This is a pretty tasty representative of the style. Mouthfeel is medium weight, smooth with some tartness from the grapefruit flavor and mild bitterness. I had it with Indian food and it stood up well.
