2012 winner created by James Schirmer. With hot summer months and fun gatherings in mind, James brewed an easy drinking wheat beer with an exotic kick. This beer is smooth and light with the delicate flavors of hibiscus.

Bottle from Bert’s Better Beers. Gold color with a light red hue. Nose is lightly herbal or perhaps flower like. Flavor has a light fruit note with honey and a light hibiscus flavor. Sweet lingering malt after the sip. Medium body with moderate Co2. The taste is good for a standard homebrew winner.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Rodman's, 4/20/13
Aroma: The aroma of this one is floral and wheaty, as you'd probably expect
Appearance: It pours a clear orange color with a mid sized white head
Flavor: Tastes sweet and very floral, the components as are what was expected from the nose
Palate: The body is light-medium, it drinks fairly cleanly, and has a soft carbonation
Overall Impression: At first I thought it was a pretty solid floral wheat beer, but for some reason, the more I drank of this one the less I liked it. That's never a good sign. Still though, it's fine.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Thin, creamy white head. Neutered wheat and sorghum like aroma, not nice. Who really likes hibiscus in their beer? Who says "This beer could use some hibiscus!"? Just gets grosser and grosser..really tastes and smells bad, like a gluten free beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright apricot color with a huge creamy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was herbal and perfumey hops, a bit wheaty and dry with a bit of bread dough - very faint overall though. The flavor was dry and chalky with a tart citric and perfumey presence. Short dryish and tart citric finish. Light to medium body. Not good.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is some wheat malt and not much else. Flavor is about the same. Some wheaty flavor and a little sweetness toward the end. Boring wheat ale.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. A fruity nose of Pils malt and honey. Very sweet, some grains, earthy, more honey, light apples. OK. Straightforward.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a large foamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of wheat and floral notes. The taste is wheat, banana, floral notes. Medium bodied, overly sweet.

Pours a lightly hazy deep golden color with a smallish off white head that slowly dissipates to a ring on top. Smells of sweet sugary malts with a hint of spice and a non descript floral component. The flavor is sweet and malty upfront with a bit of orange marmalade coming on strong. A spicy twang pops through for a second but is beaten back by the onslaught of malty sweetness that lingers long after every sip. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet syrupy bubbly mouthfeel. Not too bad, but like I said a bit on the sweet side of things.
