Inspired Agua de jamaica a typical sweet and acidic Mexican beverage. 100% organic belgian pilsner malt no-boil Berliner style brew with 2,75 kg hibiscus added to the kettle at 93º for 30 minutes before knockout. Co-fermented with L. plantarum and our house yeast culture. We used orange zest/juice from our family farm and dry hopped with a small amount of palisade hops. Just before packaging a final addition of hibiscus was added for an extra layer of flavour.

bottle. cap was suspiciously loose and easy to get off
clear red very small white head
mild aroma, berryish, hibiscus
flavor is tart, sour beerish, nicely citrussy throughout, subtle herbal bitterness balance, not unlike a belgain lambic. prerty solid sour.
comes off as quite watery though.

Bottle shared at La Tana. Pretty weak as a berliner, it’s barely acidic somehow, as a fruit beer it’s quite pleasant tho, so it’s something.

Draught Good dense yellowish head over veiled, pale ochre-golden beer. Sourish, orangezeste, herbs, very faint ureum. Almost salty, mineral, again lots of orangezeste, and indeed, hibiscustea. Dried herbs, floral. Faint citrussy acidity overlying hidden sweetness. Medium carbonation, bit sticky, not really light. Fruity, and well within classical Berliner Weisse guidelines, but far from revolutionary.

On tap @Brutal (Padova). Rosata, appena torbida, schiuma bianca media. Al naso note di arancia, frutta rossa, ibisco, leggero citrico, lattico. In bocca è morbida, attacco leggermente dolce fruttato con chiusura appena acida, un filo citrica. Corpo esi lo e, carbonazione brillante. Dissetante e ben fatta.

Draft @ pre-wedding party, merci El Birrot crew.
Couleur quasi pourpre, col fin rosé.
Arôme est assez frais avec un nez sur le funk - belle alliance entre l'hibiscus qui reste discret mais bien là avec un mariage de l'orange. Base de Berliner qui reste en appui - tout comme le houblon - petite note d'agrumes et fleuri.
Palais met bien en avant la maîtrise de Cyclic pour les bières acidulées - ici le tout est léger avec un apport de l'hibiscus qui donne une touche un peu terreuse, et la fine aigreur qui se dégage se prête bien à la balance un peu plus douce de l'orange.

Pretty clear pink red beer, small creamy light pink head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lot of funky acidity, lactobacillus, bit metallic, fruity, nice. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: acidic, fruity, lots of hibiscus, decent, soft sweetness, lemon juice. Aftertaste: dry, acidic, some vinegar, fruity touch, more lemon juice.
