minch25 (346), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 28, 2008 Pours rose pink/red, very little head and short-lived. Aroma and flavor of hibiscus, spice, flowery in general. Bitter aftertaste. Very interesting. DrBayern (1135), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Jun 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 6/25/2008.
Aroma - Distinctly floral backed up by honey, peaches, apricot, and a dose of maybe cinammon?
Appearance - Deep amber with a garnet cast, fine bubbly white head that is, unfortunately, short lived, and leaves behind only sparse lace.
Flavor - Delicately sweet flavors of light fruit accented by some subtle floral notes. A gentle citrus tartness and soft bitterness slowly ascends even out the finish.
Palate - Light to medium body, soft carbonation, smooth, leaves a lightly dry palate that complements the flavor and aroma.
Overall - This is a delicate and nicely balanced beer. Refreshing, drinkable, and not overdone. An easy beer to enjoy, and a good one to have on hand for those new to craft beer. FLnative80 (174), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 25, 2008 Bottle. 11.5 fl. oz. Unclear, magenta color with fine, white head. Floral, fruity aroma. Texture is a little thin with a dry finish. Flavor is rather tart, but finshes sweet strawberry. An interesting change of pace. I like it. notalush (2628), Denver, Colorado, USA Jun 24, 2008 Cloudy strawberry-colored beer, with a thick white lace - strong aroma of herbs and rose hips, with a mellow tartness, wheaty character, some other floral components - it smells refreshing - nice soft mouthfeel - light-bodied and refreshing - starts out quite tart, with strong flowers and cooling herbs (almost minty) - very mild sweetness and wheat flavors emerge late - the finish tastes like rose petals and herbal tea - cooling, minty finish - very unique and quite delicious - great for the warm weather. Pwn3d (1040), Manhattan, New York, USA Jun 23, 2008 Bottled, awesome artwork on the bottle. Hazy unique rink (grapefruit juice) pour. Wheat popuri nose, strawberry. Mouth is medium to full, grapefruit and florals. Interesting. JohnnyJ (1283), Carlsbad, California, USA Jun 23, 2008 Pours a orange/red with fizzy pink head. This is a very unique beer, it is flowery and is almost perfume like. Sweet candied fruit, wheat grain, pepper, floral rose, citrus, and a bit sour. Too much sweet candy/flower for my tastes, but still quite interesting. Not my cup of tea. sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 22, 2008 Amber color. Very fruity nose.Aroma is a sublte mix of the swetness of fruits peach/apricot and herbs and spices.
Does have a lot of body and not the fake extract that often plague other beers.
A complex beer where they have managed to make . I ask for more. lamas (709), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA Jun 18, 2008 11.5 oz. bottle. Smallish off-white head on top of a hazy amber body. Crisp and wheaty floral aroma. Goes down equally crisp and wheaty with citrus notes and very subtle hints of pepper throughout. Thin-bodied. On the acidic side of things. Love the experimentation, but had hoped for something more taste-wise.
