Can/Fest. A- Ginger. A- Pink color, clear liquid, white head. T- Ginger, mild hibiscus. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Lots of ginger. Okay in small amounts but it's too ginger forward and hibiscus only seems to add to the color.

Perfectly clear pink coloured body with no head at all, that looks like a very nice rose wine with a lot of bubbles rising from the bottom and sides. Aroma of very light ginger, some subdued apples, pears, grain and a dose of pure caster sugar. Light-bodied; Sharp ginger and apple flavours with some pear and a tart cranberry and herbal notes that perhaps show the hibiscus and flowers towards the end that have a touch of dryness as well. Aftertaste shows the apples, pears, honey and a bit of the dryand tart notes from the floral and hibiscus flavours that show through at the end. Overall, a fairly well-balanced cider with the nice and strong ginger flavours with a dose of sweetness from the fruits and showing the tartness of the herbs and flowers in a good way. One of the better ciders that I've had in a while, especially those based on some herbal aspects. Good to try if you can find this one! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 27-June-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Washington on 21-February-2019.
