Perfectly clear deep pink and barely ruby coloured body with hints of both violet and indigo with a super small, definitely pink coloured head that shows barely a sliver that fades to nothing a few seconds later. Aroma of bright, tart floral notes with some hibiscus, some chamomile and a deep grassy and bitter note soon afterwards perhaps from the yeast or cedar/dry notes with a light sweetness and a sweetness that shows up towards the end, but is really drowned out by the floral and pungent notes in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Pungent bitterness and punch that shows a good deal of grain and floral notes with the grass and dryness as well, but the slightly tart hibiscus flowers do come through strongly at the end. Aftertaste is deep and relatively pungent with a bitterness and strong deep floral note that has a little bit of hibiscus to it, but more of a chamomile and tea bite that has some bitterness and pungency instead of just tart elements. Overall, an interesting and surprising beer all the way around with some tart flavours, a lot of floral and dry notes, but als o some sweet, complex and bitterness that seems to work out reasonably well as the intended name - a hibiscus saison. Nice to sample and worth trying to find if you typically like hibiscus sours, as this adds some complexity to that note making it way more dry throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Selma (The Forum), San Antonio, Texas on 14-October-2019 for US$1,99 sampled in my house here in Washington on 06-August-2020.

Very hazy golden and straw coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall off-white and Soapy head that holds strong for a while. Aroma of grapefruit, crisp biscuits, a dose of hay and grass and some floral notes, without much alpha acids or bitterness at all. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy, herbal and perfumey hops dominate the flavour at first with some lemon, citrus and a touch of sweetness from the fruit. Aftertaste shows some light soapy and floral notes with a good deal of biscuits and malt components, but while the hops arent bitter, their characteristics show through and leave some grass and dry pine flavours noticeable. Some decent flavours throughout,but nothing revealing for the style. Overall, a good and interesting IPA with a lot of floral and grassy notes around, but not as robust as you'd expect for the style I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Selma (Forum), San Antonio, Texas on 14-October-2019 for US$2,49 sampled at home In Washington on 21-February-2020. 

12 oz. can purchased in San Antonio, TX. Pours a cloudy dark bronze color with an off-white head and excellent retention. Minor spots of lacing. Strong caramel ale aroma. Typical strong amber ale flavor with lots of caramel flavor but a slightly harsh finish. Wish it was lagered. 6.9% ABV is mostly hidden.

I acquired Sundowner at a Total Wine on a visit to the DFW area last summer. While a beer or two I have had from Adelbert's have been pretty decent, I have been mostly underwhelmed by Brut beers in general. Let us move along. I pop the cork and am greeted by a significant, non-ending flow of foam. I catch as much as I can and then make a pour into my New Belgium globe glass. The liquid is a dense yellow-orange and the before-mentioned head is off-white and remains vigorous. The scent delivers yellow raisin and floral, not a bad intro. I take a drink, not bad either, better than any other Brut beer sampled previously. Yellow fruit, yeast, hay and grass, honey and granny smith apple. No bitterness, a healthy 12% ABV that is well concealed. Better than expected.

I'm not sure who brought this last night but thanks for the hookup! Lightly hazy faint yellow color with a decent sized bubbly white head, Lemony citrus orange flavor against a faint spicy wit base. Decent beer but I'd like to try it fresher.

Bottle: Poured a Brown with light bubbles. Aroma is dark fruits and sweet malts. Taste is dark carbonated fruits, alcohol burn.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a dark amber with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is yeast, belgian sugar, berry, oak, grape. Slick body, boozy, berry, figs, yeast, decent.
