Bottle shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a hazy light peachy yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of hibiscus with a light funk and a bit of grass. Flavor has a nice tart hibiscus with a bit of acid and a light funk.

Draft. Rose beer with a cream head. Tart and light floral aroma. Sour and light acetic flavor with light strawberries and light floral notes. Medium bodied. Sour/acetic notes linger with light strawberries.

Small head, gone in secs, over golden-verdigris beer. Peach, flowers, lactic acid, barnyard odours. Sour peach, blossoms and white grape for flavours. Lipsmacking sourness, light body, some acidburn. Nice, maybe less stellar than the former F.C., but excellent enough.

GABF 2014. Pours a fairly bright, slightly dark golden appearance with an off white head. Some tropical fruit, herbal hops, hibiscus, flowers, lemon and yogurt. Dry, juicy, and fun to drink.

Tap@TRB. Pours hazy rose, small off white head, dissipates slowly with good lacing. Aroma is tart cherry, oak, floral notes, a bit of funkiness. Flavor is light tart, some funk, but not a lot, oaky including some tannins, floral as heck. Light body, good carbonation. Kinda liking this one!

Blood red and the nose is insanely floral. After drinking a lot f hibiscus beers, this is spot on flowers with lemonade and cherry. Well, this is pretty sour. Super balsamic and heart burn inducing. Lots of lemonade and creamed corn oily finish. Hibiscus is there and a touch of honey.
