355ml bottle into shaker. Sweet malt nose, cloudy red/orange beer with high carbonation and a creamy white head. Medium body, slight fruit taste. Finish is interesting. Starts astringent, becomes more floral and fruity. Eventually ends up dry with distinct tea overtones. Quite nice and light.

On tap at The Porch last Saturday. Aroma is floral, almost sour-like (lacto?), raisins. Pours a rosy pink-purple with a purple-white head. Take is sweet and sour with little bitterness. Very interesting and tasty.

Bottle. Clear pale red with a large pink-tinged head that lasts well. Aroma of hibiscus flowers, cranberries, lemon, some grassy herbs. Dryish with crackers, flowers, hints of tartish berries. Finish is dry with fairly low bitterness. Herbal and floral notes hang around awhile. Stylish and likeable drop.

Sample at SF Beer Week Opening Gala 2014. (my first one from this brewery) Amber with a small head. Aroma of fruit, malt and some light herbs. Similar taste. Drinkable but nothing special with this one.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. The beer is a dark pinkish-amber color with a medium fizzy white head and spotty lacing. Light-bodied with a floral aroma with some fruit behind it. The finish is floral with a slightly tart strawberry aftertaste. Decent overall.
