It’s always exciting to see Riwaka Hops. One of the rarest hop varieties, these little New Zealand gems are a challenge to grow, meaning there’s a minuscule amount being processed.

So it’s downright thrilling to see Equilibrium spotlight the hops! The EQ crew is an even rarer commodity than Riwaka –– their last three IPAs boast a whopping 4.30 average rating on Tavour! That’s some ridiculously consistent Haze making!

For Greenstone, the NY juice masters started with a simple Pale Malt base, letting the hops drive the lusciously stunning flavor. Then they used Citra Hops in the whirlpool before dry hopping the brew with Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, and a pinch of more Citra. 

Vibrant surges of tangy orange, drippy passionfruit, and cool white grape erupt out of every sip, coursing toward grapefruit pith and a hint of pepper. 

Care for some rare NZ nectar from the EQ crew?
