Lively carbonation and a long bitter finish. Overall, awesome. I would drink this every day if I could!

Pour is a bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is all hops and no malts. Flavor is about this same. A aggressive citrus hop with a little red grapefruit and big bitterness. Nice hop resin left on the tounge after the swallow. Alcohol is not detectable so this could be dangerious. Very solid.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of chocolate and roasted malt with a little coffe in there. Flavor is a little less intense. Still get a decent roasted malt with some chocolate milk and coffee but its a bit watery for my liking. Still a decent pick up and the low alcohol is a plus.

Pour is a cider lookalike with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lots of funk, white wine and lemon juice. Flavor is bretty with some citrus and a palate cleaning chalky malt. Not overly sour or bretty but just enough to make it above par.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is lots of pine hops with some malt. Flavor is about the same. Decent piney-citrusy hop with a decent malty backbone. This is quite decent with the hops really the main showcase.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours black with a brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of vanilla and bourbon with smooth roasted malts and dark grains. Flavor begins with earthy dark grain that is joined by a bit of smooth bourbon and vanilla.

Bottle. Banana, tart berry, wheat aroma, Hazy pink tinged gold with small white head, spotty lacing. Banana, clove, and a light tartness. Not sure if the tartness is coming from the yeast or the hibiscus. Light body, lively carbonation. I blend and drink quite a few of my own herbal teas, many using hibiscus. I really enjoy hibiscus flavor, and was disappointed that the flavor and aroma weren’t significantly present. Otherwise, I found it to be a very pleasant wit.
