Why was I surprised when I poured this out and it was dull red / pink? Small white cap that lasts for awhile leaving very nice silty, spotty lacing on most swirls. Excellent, strong aroma that made my mouth water instantly. Tons of floral up front, sour raspberries, grains - very appealing. The taste does not live up to the same standards set by the aroma but it is still very good none the less. Sourness is number one here with a very weird drying, acidic after taste of flavours that just confuse. More grains, faint, dull raspberries or even weaker cherry, ample wheat that seems to hold back too much of the goodness hiding and well placed light spice. A pretty fine brew that fades in interest after the aroma factor.

Pours a very dark orange/pink(?) - looks like a glass of dark grapefruit juice. Almost no head. Very sweet, fruity (citrus) aroma. Tastes similar to a champagne - oranges, grapefruit (sweet - not sour), etc. Medium body. Very few apparent carbonate bubbles, but carbonation evident in palate/mouthfeel.

On tap @WVRST, pours a really eye catching red to pink hue with a bubbly white head. Floral element is nicely pronounced on the nose with some herbs & citrus in there as well. Bright and well carbonated sweet to bitter finish. Great for the patio in the summer.

Bottle at Brewberry, Paris. Colour is reddish with some yellow and pink shade, opalescent with minimal head. Aroma of flower (yep, especially hibiscus) and bitter hops. Taste of hibiscus, wheat, tea. Balanced between sweet and bitter, a bit dry palate.

341 ml bottle from Firefly. Pours a hazy pink/salmon color. Fruity aroma of pears and grapes. Tart floral taste (hibiscus?) along with underlying wheat beer crispness. Different. Nice.

Pours pink like a guava but smelss like a papaya. Orange blossom flavours, slightly acid, orange peel, coriander seed. Very refreshing beer for aperitive or in summertime at any time. Cheers !

Deep hazy pink colour with a thin white head. The aroma has a little bit of light herbal/floral character. Fairly fresh smelling with a nice bright pink grapefruit sort of tartness behind a spicy and herbal component. Wheaty tartness lend a nice refreshing bite to this one. Nice stuff. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle shared at City Pub, Goteberg. Hazy orange pinkish pour with a small off white head. Aroma is very floral with citrus and some sourness. Flavour is fruity, floral and slightly sweet with a very dry finish. Medium body and very low carbonation.

341ml bottle. A cloudy orange body with pink nuances looks so unusual. Small white head that dissipates almost instantly. First thing that kicks in is the alcohol, and after that the typical wheat beer, with some interesting sweetish-sour influences, refreshing floral bouquet, banana and yeast. Taste is full of sourness, thanks to the hibiscus, a crisp lightness, very refreshing, herbal tones. Good summer beer.

On tap at La Souche (Quebec City). Pours a strange salmon pink. Aroma: mostly flower (hibiscus). Taste is of flower and some fruits (bananas). This beer is very drinkable and refreshing. En fût au bar La Souche (Québec). Couleur rose saumon. Arômes de felrus principalement (hibiscus). Goût de fleur et de fruits (bananes). Bière très buvable et refraîchissante.

A great colour : pink blond beer. Intriguing beer made with flower, this is the reason of the colour. Really ppor head. Smell : flower, acid and sugar. Taste : acid, and flower. Aftertaste : acid, a little bitter
