341 ml brown bottle.

Bright pink beer with a thin white head.

Aroma is of sour fruit with floral notes.

Sour cherries are the dominant flavour in this beer, with some citrus and a faint, lingering hop bitterness. I'm also getting some hints of tropical fruit, mainly pineapple. Light-bodied with fairly high carbonation.

Tart and refreshing and quite unusual.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy deep pink color ale with a big foamy head with some average retention. Aroma of hibiscus is dominating and quite enjoyable and different. Taste is also dominated by the hibiscus with a ton of wheat malt and some spices which may originate from the yeast strain or maybe some orange peel/coriander mix. Body is full with some good carbonation. Interesting experience and definitely something I would buy again.

bu en bouteille

belle couleur rosée comme son nom, petit goût aigre parfait, équilibre incroyable, très rafraichissante, facile à boire mais combien gouteuse, les fleurs d'hibiscus donne une belle couleur et un goût hors pair, qui se marrie bien avec une bière blanche, cette bière serait moins bonne si elle n'aurait pas été de blé à la base, le marriage est parfait.

j'adore cet audace hors du comme..

Pinkish reddish beer with no head retention at all.
Smell of hibiscus, shy wheat, spices, bananas and florals flavours with a shy hoppish bitterness.

Taste is wheaty at first followed by a shy malty caramel flavour then followed by a sweet floral smooth taste that let some shy flavours out such as hops, spices and fruit, but everything is pretty smooth like a soft juice.

It's pink, an orange pink colour with a finger of foamy pink head. Pinkest beer I've had. Some lacing as the beer goes down.

The aroma is flowery and tart, and has a bit of citrus. I'm not sure what hibiscus smells like, but I assume that it makes up for the bulk of the aroma, as it doesn't remind me of any other beer I've smelled.

Sour and tart flavoured, reminds me of juice crystals that need to have sugar added. Slight citrus to the finish. Nice, unique.

Though it is light bodied, it seems to coat the mouth. Carbonation is sturdy but not overdone.

Quite nice, and certainly different. Not something I'd have frequently but certainly glad to try it. My thanks go to my friend Jay for bringing a bottle back on his recent trip to Montreal.

A beautiful red with pinkish foam, like a bstrawberry milkshake. Aroma of sweet and sour herbs. Creamy mouthfeel with a sour edge. Bold taste. Sourish finish. Suitable carbonation. I like sour rosehip tea once in a while, but this was a unique spot-on brew.

Serving type: on-tap
