Ambrosia is an interesting beer, and we're pleased with the results. Citrus snap melding with Hibiscus sweetness and warm malt notes. 6% abv gives it backbone, but clearly sessionable.

Thanks to Pawola22 for sending this bottle my way.
The beer pours a hazy orange color with a white head. The aroma has a lot of wheat and orange citrus notes, with some additional floral notes which I assume are from the hibiscus. The flavor is more of the same. The floral and orange citrus notes go very well together, with the wheat backbone also adding a little flavor to the overall experience. The beer is very easy to drink. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

MarkFy sent me this beer in a recent trade. Cheers and thanks, Mark!
Pouring into a Three Floyds pint glass. Semi-cloudy, medium orange in color with yellow highlights. Formed a tall, rocky off-white that's retaining well and leaving lacing on the glass.
Sweet orange rind along with a harder to identify floral presence dominate the nose on this brew.
Flavors include a mild toasty malt and a more prevalent orange rind. Moderate level of bitterness and a dry finish. Slight spiciness.
Medium-light bodied with a moderate level of carbonation.
Overall glad to have sampled this but nothing overly impressive. A well-made beer but not something I'd go out of my way for.
