Served in a Free State willibecher glass at the brewpub. Color is a vibrant and beautiful purple and rose, pinkish purple. The lacing lacing sticks around. Such a pretty color and clear. Aroma is tart with natural lactic acid but a faint fecal. Definitely a Berliner, just one with a pretty color. Flavor is super lactic with a great sharpness at the end of the flavor. Has a real nice berry/cranberry edge and very effervescent mouthfeel. Did not know that hibiscus was used but tasted more like a berry. Just a pleasure to drink, one of the best Free State beers I have ever had. Love the flavor but the aroma had just a tint of error.

Multiple glasses from a growler that Beastiefan2k graciously brought to me the evening prior. The pour is a clear pink red with a minimal soft pink head that falls quick. The aroma is wheat grain, along with a bit of fruit tartness. The taste is bright tart fruit citrus, a bit of funk, and then finishes with more fruit (agree on the cranberry description) and the wheat grain. The palate is light bodied, low to flat carbonation and a residual tart finish. Clean and easy drinking, nicely made. Thanks for grabbing this for me Eugene.
