Tasting notes:
There’s a simple explanation for the title of this luscious beer: Riwaka because it’s the name of the only hop used and Pacific pale ale because New Zealand is Riwaka’s home. With this puzzle solved let pour some into the glass. It is the colour of a hazy sunset, the kind of sunset at the end of a gorgeous day that you don’t want to see the end of. Now adore the shimmering aromatics of sweet mandarin, appetising grapefruit and delicate passion fruit that emerge from the glass, before diving deep into its very soul and enjoying a palate of more mandarin sweetness, a suggestion of grapefruit and white grape alongside a delicate undercurrent of light graininess, before it races to a graceful bitterness and a doughty dryness that lingers like the last rays of sun on this beautiful day.
Hops: Riwaka
Food pairing: The zigzag of fruitiness that Riwaka brings to this beer will make it an ideal companion to a serving of chicken enchiladas, dovetailing and dealing with the smoky chipotle chicken and crunch of peppers, or you might want to try it alongside a prawn jalfrezi, where it will help keep the heat of the chillies under control. Whatever you try you can’t lose.

About Us
At the Frome Brewing Company we work with an extremely talented and knowledgeable team of brewers. We pride ourselves on producing the highest quality beers and we're not going to send anything out of our doors that we wouldn't want to drink ourselves. We do like to experiment - but more importantly, we're all about balancing delicate flavours to produce easy drinking beers.
In other words... "it's all about the beer!"
Brewing takes place up to five times a week, with malt from Warminster, hops from Charles Faram and our very own yeast. Our yeast, which is a similar strain to Youngs, is particularly versatile. Our beers are all vegan (but they're not gluten free).
We have a diverse range of beers with colours, strengths and flavours to suit all palates - if you're not sure what to go for, try a mixed case and we'll send you a selection of our finest.
Don't forget you can use code LOVEBEER10 for 10% off your order, and if you spend over £100 you'll get 15% of automatically. Enjoy!

Have to say this was some of the nicest beer I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot! Excellent gift from my lovely wife who usually complains I'm hard to buy for.
