What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Nice balance of sweet strawberry with hibiscus and light tartness. Refreshing and bright. Light malt sweetness, toasty caramel, some cherry, and light floral notes with a touch of honey.”

Flavor: “Notes of strawberry provide some fruitiness and sweetness. Nicely balanced acidity. Plenty of fruity esters: berry, strawberry jam, light acidity, a touch of lemon, with light honey notes. The hibiscus and rose give a light floral flavor with a mild tartness in the finish.”

Overall: “Sweet, but not too sweet. Very pleasant and refreshing. Just right for those who enjoy meads or fruit wines. Hops profile on this beer is light and blended in well with the fruit and hibiscus.”

What the Brewers Say

“The aroma is of tart strawberries, lemon, and grapefruit with floral notes of rose and hibiscus. The flavor has a distinctly tart grapefruit character supported by peach, strawberry, and delicate hints of floral perfume.”
