Bottle poured into FFF Teku

2010 Vintage

A - Golden orange pour with pinkish white head. A lot of carbonation on the pour

S - Nice floral nose with some citrus and a little funk. Overall a great nose.

T - Not sure if this past it's prime but the floral notes fell off quickly. From the nose I was expecting more, but it does go down smooth

M - Light and carbonated. A great summer brew

O - I was hoping for more, but the taste never developed with warming. I would give it another try, but not going to seek this out.

Big thanks to alelover for this one - 2011 vintage:

Pours beautifully... burnt honey gold with a healthy dose of off-white head... great lacing, great retention. I'm starting to think that hibiscus does wonderful things for a beer's appearance.

Think Hops n Roses, just less aggressive.

Muted floral bits, honeysuckle... so fresh and so clean clean. I split this bottle with a buddy but I could easily pound the whole bottle in a sitting. Super smooth, mellow.

Very tasty - thanks Joel!
