Can to tulip.
Appearance: amber to violet meshing of color with a quickly dissipating foamy head, no lace
Aroma: hibiscus first then some tart to sour grassy hops
Flavor: hibiscus sweet then with more warmth it opens up to blend with the tart/sour character, a hibiscus sort of aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, not much of any finish but seemed sort of with the hibiscus
Overall: nice to try but I think I would rather try again on draft and preferably next Summer when I believe this could be better at that time.

Brewery draught, 6/15/24. Moderately hazy, bright pink-cherry. Small, white head quickly to ring. Juicy peach and hibiscus with good malt and low lactic character. Doesn't seem too sugary. Peachy-tart. Very light, with real fruit character. Not punchy/too lactic, but just very very light, bordering thin. Needs a bit more malt/body.
