This Double IPA is a vibrant showcase of Riwaka hops, delivering an intense sensory experience enhanced by the brewery’s use of oats for a silky texture. The aroma is fierce and immediate, bursting with saturated notes of gooseberry and lychee, accented by a distinct spicy citrus edge. On the palate, deep layers of succulent papaya and tropical fruit unfold against a soft, supportive malt backdrop. Despite its 8% ABV, the finish remains remarkably smooth, balancing a moderate bitterness with a lush, tropical-saturated aftertaste that celebrates the singular, pungent glory of its New Zealand hop profile.
Appearance.Pours a hazy, pale gold to light orange (5–7 SRM) with a thick, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves dense lacing. The inclusion of oats provides a characteristic opaque, soft glow.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring dominant Riwaka character: pungent gooseberry, passionfruit, and lychee. Secondary notes of spicy grapefruit zest and sweet papaya. Malt is low, presenting as a clean, doughy, and grainy sweetness with a neutral fermentation profile.
Taste.Explodes with tropical fruit flavors, specifically ripe papaya and tart gooseberry, followed by a mid-palate of lychee and spicy citrus. Bitterness is firm but smooth, lacking harshness. The malt provides a soft, bready support that allows the hop flavors to lead. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering tropical punch and clean alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a notably creamy, plush texture from the oats. Carbonation is moderate. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but restrained, with no hop-derived astringency.
