“New Zelda Hazy IPA w/ Riwaka”, malted with Pilsner, Malted Oats, Flaked Oats, Chit Malt, and Malted Wheat. I think this might be the first Riwaka single-hop I’ve had, and I have to say, it’s really working for me. Juicy tropical fruit and orange juice, without being sickly sweet, and a short finish that verges on dry. I haven’t had many by this brewery, but this ties with their Turbidity as the best thing of theirs I’ve had. (16/20)
This will be my 5,834th unique Untappd check-in.
