Score 6.8 : Sample @ BXL BeerFest 2018, shared with Belgian RB crew, thanks. Dorée virant sur léger rosé, col blanc fin. Arôme tire de suite sur un côté Berliner avec un rétro modéré de grains, dur de trouver une présence hibiscus - bissap te que je suis habitué à le boire en Afrique - de part son côté acerbe distinct. Palais est finement citrique, malté fin, fruité avec note verte finement houblonné? je note rien en terme d'hibiscus tant le tout reste acidulé sur la base de Berliner. petite touche agrumes et citronné sur la fin.
Score révisé 7.0 update 05/06/20 : bouteille 33cl, effet lime tjs marqué, hibiscus reste plus en retrait en bouche place au citron vert alors qu'au nez hibiscus ressort plus avec un accompagnement du houblon Bravo qui apporte un agréable côté fruité - fruits à noyaux. Fini marqué par effervescence haute. Une fois à t° ambiante le nez présente un bouquet de noisette et cookie - original (effet de la levure et grains?).
