Bottle at CBC - Clerkenwell, London during Bruce’s 30th Birthday Party. Many thanks to the birthday boy! Pours lightly hazy, pale gold with a huge white head. Citric lemon aroma. Light sweet flavor with great citric tang, hints of sour berries. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Wonderful lemony tang to finish, modest lip-quiver, light grapefruit. Hugely drinkable.

Bottle at Bruce’s 30th, thanks to the man himself. It pours hazy golden pink with a small white head. The nose is fresh, sour red fruit, pink grapefruit, pomegranate and light floral notes. The taste is sour lime, mouth-numbing tartness, lemon, pink grapefruit, tart pomegranate and floral with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well balanced. Thankfully not too acidic. Clean, tart and pretty delicious.

A really unique brew. Sampled at GABF 2012. Pours a cloudy orange color with a medium white head. A sweet herbal nose with some light floral notes. Big berries, tea, light sawdust, very herbal, fruit. Unique. Totally different than anything I’ve had. Good.

On tap at the brewery. The aroma was disjointed as the pomegranate did not work here and maybe clashed with the hibiscus. Pinkish color was hazy. The flavor followed the aroma and caused more confusion than pleasure in the palate.

Pinkish colour. The aroma is a bit off, phenols and maybe a bit stale. Tart, fruity and refreshing on the palate. Mellow understated nar character. An interesting beer if you can get past the aroma.

Judging bottle from GABF (brewer’s afterparty) as well as samples at the festival itself. Pours with a slightly hazy pink hue with a small white head. Aromas are floral and slightly juicy with a bit of wheat and a strong lactic note. Flavors are quite sour (lactic and malic). No real funk too it, but some juicy fruit notes that I cannot quite identify. Lightly floral/tangy hibiscus like notes Light body with medium high carbonation. Clean lactic acidity. Pretty good.
Notes from the floor: Lightly hazed yellow to slightly pink hue with a white head. Aromas are sweet, jammy, lactic, herbal, spice, pomegranate. Flavors are lactic acidic and quite strongly so. Wheaty, a bit grainy and bready. Dry and acidic with lively bubbles.
