Heres what I've been goofin around with for a while. I love belgian wits on hot summer days (or freezin your butt off days). Anyway I took a witbier and threw in a bunch of hibiscus flowers to make it even better. Tart and refreshing, with a hint of tart.

Refrigerated 75 Cl brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Nice orange with medium white head. Aroma is nice hibiscus and orange, medium/light body, medium carbonation, and thick small-bubble lacing. Taste is orange and hibiscus. The orange and hibiscus meld seamlessly for me, and not too much

750 ml bottle poured into a tulip. Picked up a bottle at TWCP during RBSG. 5% ABV according to the label. Hazy apricot yellow/orange with around 3 fingers of off-white head. Poured with a bit of a pinkish tint. Aromas of herbs, spices, hibiscus, stone fruit. Tastes of hibiscus, slightly tart fruit, light herbs and spices, subtle salt. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Medium-low carbonation. Better than I expected.

Samples from the tap at the Bridge. Pours a near clear pinkish amber with a a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of earthy wheat with a light tart hibiscus underlying. Flavor has a tart hibiscus with more of a balanced wheat note and a touch of earthiness.

Pour is a cloudy pink grapefruit juice lookalike with a small white head. Aroma is some citrus spice with a decent amount of fresh cut flowers. Flavor is more floral with some berry fruit and finishes with a nice lemony citrus on the tongue. This beer is weird looking when first poured but it turns out to be a very tasty floral/fruity beer.

Bottle @ B.R.A.D. Fest, courtesy of jcnielsen. Pours a bit hazy, yellow orange appearance with an off white head. Quite floral, somewhat spicy yeasty, lemon citrusy, wheat malty aroma. Somewhat tangy, lemon/tangerine citrus fruity, zesty all-spice, floral, a bit herbal hoppy flavor. Easy to drink.

Bottle. Banana, tart berry, wheat aroma, Hazy pink tinged gold with small white head, spotty lacing. Banana, clove, and a light tartness. Not sure if the tartness is coming from the yeast or the hibiscus. Light body, lively carbonation. I blend and drink quite a few of my own herbal teas, many using hibiscus. I really enjoy hibiscus flavor, and was disappointed that the flavor and aroma weren’t significantly present. Otherwise, I found it to be a very pleasant wit.

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours dishwater gold with a frothy/bubbly white head. I think the aroma actually is hibiscus. Weird. Med body. Flavor is belgian yeast/spice and arguably citrus, but there’s a weird herb/floral that seems hibiscus. With maybe a hint of tobacco and/or leather. This is astringent and dry. Who’d a thought a this.
