This Double IPA showcases the vibrant complexity of the Riwaka hop, delivering an intense sensory experience. The aroma is a pungent bouquet of grapefruit and lime, accented by passionfruit and a distinctive herbal, noble-like spice. On the palate, the hop-forward profile continues with citrus sweetness and tropical depth, supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone. Despite its strength, the beer remains remarkably approachable with a creamy, medium-full body and a smooth, integrated alcohol warmth. A firm bitterness balances the lush fruit notes, leading to a crisp, lingering finish that highlights the quintessential New Zealand hop character.
