Fris biertje op kleur gebracht met Hibiscus. Best ok

Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke, shared with Anke and Pieter.
Pours hazy dark red with a big, frothy, lasting, pink head (though strongly gushing). The aroma contains cherries, hops, wheat, some iron and herbs. It tastes medium fruity sweet and light to medium herbal (tea-like) bitter, bit hoppy; only very light sour; slightly dry and metallic in the finish. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy to lively carbonation. This beer is all over the place but going nowhere.

Gusher allert. Pours pinkish red, white head. Smell is earthy, hibiscus, Taste is full, bit sweet (only a touch ) hibiscus. Mild earthy , coocked vegetable notes. Bit low on mf, high on carbo.

24/06/2017 @home - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck. Cloudy red with pink head. Nose is hibiscus, red fruits, spices. Taste is bitter fruits, hibiscus, spices, sour touch. Interesting brew.

Gushing to towering pink, irregular head, stable over hazy cyclamen beer. Fruity nose (cherry?), with some herbs/spices, faintly peppery, but also arachide... fatty acids. Bitter fruit (Tim says overripe strawberries - I’m thinking of force-grown ones, with the white tops), arachide, tisane - hibiscus, no doubt. Sourish finish. Light body, sticky head, obviously well-carbonated. Something went wrong here, all the signs pointing towards infection.

The second installment in this series, a hibiscus-flavoured ale. Bottle shared by and with tderoeck, thanks! Very violent gusher, spouting out of the bottle during opening. Very thick, rocky, foamy, cobweb-lacing, pale lilac coloured head over a hazy ruby red beer, looking like a sweet ’kriek’ or something along those lines. Aroma of hibiscus flowers indeed but in a dried and candied form, like the ones sometimes plunged into a glass of champagne, also smelling like rosehip tea including its metallic aspect; other impressions include red ’Haribo’ candy, lavender soap, violets, lemon, red apple, white bread. Rather artificially fruity onset, with flavours reminiscent of blueberry and raspberry, sweet but not overly cloying with the sugary sweetness being balanced a bit by an underlying, softly lime-like sourishness; fizzy carbo, smooth and cereally malt core with a light caramelly edge but drowned in this hibiscus thing, floral in a soapy and artificial way with that sugary sweet aspect persisting till the end, where it is countered by a hop bitter touch, thus avoiding stickiness; the soapy, sweetish and lightly sourish flavours cling to the back of the mouth. Absolutely not my kind of beer - I was already suspicious when the brewer told me the second one in this series was going to be a hibiscus beer - and anything but subtle, not to mention the gushing. I will keep an eye on the third Homo Beerectus when it comes out, but if that one fails to impress me as well, I don’t think I am going to keep following this project, sorry Jef!
