Opaque dark red. Mild aroma of wood, malt, acetone. Good body strength, some malt flavour, moderate acidity, some acetone; the acetone can be acceptable in small doses, but it's not as fruity as a Flanders Red, and not very complex.
Ok beer.

Cloudy golden colour with no head. Dominated by the acetone, it seems to have a bit of residual sweetness, the mouthfeel it a bit soapy, it may have a floral touch but nothing that says hibiscus. More acetone in the finish.
Not very professional.

Cloudy golden colour with no head. Having this one after the Hibiscus version, same acetone dominating the beer, in this case the adjunct is more evident, at least in the aroma; dough-y yeast is also more evident.
Not very professional.

Soured Grassy notes with a touch of vegetal. Clear gold with small white head. Soured citrus and wet grass with an effervescent.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart black limes upfront, with light farmhouse notes. Flavour brings out nail polish remover, with subdued black lime, intense acetic notes, and citric acid. Harsh and barely drinkable. Not good.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tart citrus, followed by hibiscus, and perfume. Flavour is so perfume and acetic, with nail polish remover, intense citric acid, and hibiscus. Harsh and undrinkable. Very poor.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond colour with creamy head. The malt base is delicate, with a light bready accent; the mouthfeel is smooth; the hopping is generic, very light citrus in the aroma and not much descriptors for the flavour.
More of a staple beer than an experimental one; maybe they are exploring their new house pale ale. Ok beer.
