Deep pink and light amber coloured body with a nice ruby tint and a fairly large, four to five centimetre tall off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a soft lace on the sides. Aroma of pretty strong ginger notes with a lot of tart notes that seem more like strawberries than hibiscus, with a light grainy malt here, but some sweetness peeks through the cracks and shows more of a robust scent. Light-bodied; Relatively crisp and dry malts come out at first with a heavy hand of crysalised ginger with a light sweetness here as well, but the tart notes from hibiscus are relatively hidden, and while nothing is too strong flavoured here, the ginger is definitely the strongest with the wheat right behind. Aftertaste shows more of a nuanced and light side of things with some softer sugars here and a dash of the flowers, but that's about it. Overall, a nice enough, very light and mild beer throughout that has at least a soft and crisp ginger bite. Good to sample, but for the vast majority of you, this isn't worth drinking or even trying to find. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Wegman's (grocery) in Woodbridge, Virginia on 02-November-2021, for US$ 1,99 sampled while hiking Shenandoah National Park on 09-July-2022.

Draft. A- Hibiscus, ginger. A- Reddish orange color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Ginger tea, mild hibiscus, spice. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Good but the ginger always seems to overpower as an ingredient. Tasted a bit like a tea I might fancy on a cold December night.
