Fresh, crisp and floral. Pours a light red color with very little head. Smells fresh and piney - great hops. Taste is a combo of piney hops and hibiscus tea and it is delicious!!!! Finishes with an essence of guava and crisp hops. This is a surprisingly fantastic brew! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Drank from 22oz bottle poured into glass. Aroma- citrus hoppy notes. Wonderful aroma. Appearance- redish ruby color with light head. Appealing and different color. Taste- fantastic. Hoppy with floral notes. Can tell it would be a good standalone ipa but has a twist. Palate-sweet and sour guava tasting afteraste. Overall- very please. Enjoyed this special brew.

A reddish pinkish IPA with a thin white head. In aroma, caramel malt with fragrant tropical fruits, hops, flowers, beautiful. In mouth, a beautiful crisp malt with light fruit acidity, floral hops, delicious and acidic. At the REAL gastropub, Zwanze day, Dec. 1 2012.

This is a collaborative effort between CBC and Maui Brewing. One diminutive, but I’m told "strong" gal from Maui Brewing came out to Coronado to create this interesting concoction. It’s the most beautiful ale I’ve ever seen. Such a vibrant rose color. My only regret is that the white head faded so quickly. Emanating from the glass is a lovely grapefruit nose that nearly rivals it’s appearance. The mouthfeel is nearly perfect. Very wet, slick with just the right amount of carbonation burn. Ok, the flavor is unique. Particularly, when considered in the context of the grapefruit bouquet. It is tart and floral. The flavor is consistent throughout. Some lagerish notes at the very finish.

Bottle shared by b3shine. Poured clear dark amber color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy floral and citrus hop aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This a complex good brew.

OK, hibiscus? Is this going to work? The 22oz bomber pours clear copper with a short lived off white head that attained a pinkish sort of hue. The aroma offers up modest fruity berry like notes, I guess this is Hibiscus, if I had a better understanding of it, lavender floral and a bit of citrus hops. The taste has a tea to lavender floral to a bitter citrus to start with and then running toward sort of near tart like berry notes. Nice mix of flavors where there’s a pleasing balance of malts, hops and floral notes.

Light crimson, honey, and golden tangerine body with a fluffy ivory cap. Lots of bitterness...orange rind, lemon zest, and grapefruit pith. Floral and herbaceous. Biscuit and candied tropical fruit. Love the low ABV...sessionable for sure!

Type: Draft Glass: Half-pint glass From: Coronado Brewing Company in Coronado, Calif. (San Diego) Price: $3.00 Misc.: Collaboration with Maui; Had on Jan. 21, 2013 Poured an amber hazy color with one finger of white head when I got it. Above average lacing with good retention. Smelled citrus hops - hibiscus and berry, floral hops, rye hops and iced tea. Tasted much better than the smell. Got grapefruit, lemon, orange rind, hibiscus and floral hops. Light body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Refreshing finish. Really enjoyed this beer. Smooth, refreshing and tasty.

22oz bomber. Amber pour with minimal white head. Slight fruit aroma. Strong floral and berry taste with the slight ipa hop flavor.

Pours ruby red, clear, with a thin head. Awesome aroma - hoppy citrus with a strong and pungent floral. Mustiness, some hops, some astringence. Thin body. Dry finish.
