The best Spice, Herb, and Vegetable beers combine an array of flavors -- often unfamiliar -- and become something greater than the sum of their parts. This beer, brewed with hibiscus, succeeds in that. Its aroma is anchored by a grainy, bready, wheat malt character, supported by a subtle blend of cranberry, rose, and cinnamon. It's an attractive yellow-orange color with reddish hues. This beer's flavor contains a similar mosaic, with moderately low bitterness that is accentuated by very high attenuation, but tempered by a fluffy texture and crisp mouthfeel. It has a dry, herbal finish with an aftertaste of rose hips. The moderately high carbonation level makes this beer all the more lively. Both refreshing and complex, this beer is the fermented equivalent of an herbal tea.
