COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, four women from four breweries came together to craft a beer for hope. Using the finest malts, two strains of hops, and an Ardennes yeast, then adding flavor, aroma, and hue with (hibiscus and pomegranate) they produced a brisk Saison. Slightly tart with subtle fruit-esters, hints of spice, and pink. The brewsters present this beer as a salute to the memory and bravery of those women and men fighting breast cancer, and as a toast to the day when we find the cure. Pretty in Pink: Awareness Ferments Hope. Collaboration between Lost Rhino, Bluejacket, Vintage 50, and Hardywood.

Tasting at Red White and Bleu. Good beer for a great cause, now in a bottle. Dark pink with big white head. Great balance of tart and sweet citrus and pomegranate. Probably too sweet for a full serving, but good for a few ounces.
