This is an IPA that's been tickled pink with the additions of hibiscus in the late boil, and a fruit injection of Raspberry, finished off with a dry hop of Citra and experimental hop HBC431 which brings a bright and clean strawberry aroma! Super smooth, soft juicy tones, almost thick like a milkshake, a tiny bit of dryness/bitterness on the finish and a whole abundance of aroma and flavour. This beer is a roller coaster on the senses. Proper delish, and who doesn't like a pink beer?

Keg at the Experiment - Hackney. Pours unclear copper-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Novel, with some pine, light berries, ripening orange, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with some hibiscus, berry seed bitterness, a little pine, citrus. Not bad.

Can. Not sure about a Raspberry Hibiscus IPA but North are a good brewery so my interest was hooked. A somewhat murky pinky apricot colour beer, small pale apricot colour head. Palate is light and crispy. Thin malts. A nice fruity floral melange here, nothing obviously Raspberry or Hibiscus but it's quite a pleasant fruity tone. Good crispy piney hop overlay. Crisp and semi dry finish. Tidy. Wasn't the beer I was expecting nor the beer I was fearing, but something else that grows and seduces, to a degree.

Why do people keep thinking throwing hibiscus in beer is a good thing? Cause it's not. Go away. Had this as part of the sensory tasting. With nose clamp it seems bitter and grapefruity. Without it there's raspberry and sweetness.

440ml can. Murky pink/orangebrown, off-white head. Aroma of raspberries, strawberries, vanilla. Taste is fruity, strawberries and raspberry, hibiscus, vanilla/milky, light sweet, light bitter. Medium body, creamy. More of a milkshake IPA I think, pretty nice one as well.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours murky dirty pink with a thick, foamy off-white head. The aroma is fresh, tangy, fragrant, plenty of red fruit, raspberry shortbread, cranberry, floral, hibiscus and pink marshmallow. The taste is crisp, dry, slightly tart, juicy raspberry, cranberry, hibiscus, pot pourri, slightly soapy, Victoria sponge and a bit spicy. Thick body and fine, prickly carbonation. A bit muddled maybe, but fun anyhow.
