    Can from the brewery - Easter 2024 trip, that pours a lightly hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, long lasting with some soapy lacing left. Not sure why, but I am getting lots of Nelson Sauvin notes, rather than Riwaka. That nutty-grapeness I really like, not the grapefruit I am suppose to get. Maybe a bit of kumquat that is suppose to be. The mango of the Riwaka comes out in the taste with citrusy zest hints. Quite juicy with just enough building dryness to not be too thick. Still, vinous notes that I really enjoy the Sauvin hops. No matter what, this is a good APA.
