Picked up a 12 oz can in Tucson in a mix-a-six, poured into imperial pint glass.

L - Pours a bright, hazy reddish pink with a fluffy, rose-colored head that leaves a thick lacing on the glass. An interesting pour and appearance, almost iced tea in color comparison.

S - Not much to the nose. Some citrus and floral hops but faint for a pale ale. Not a very flowery smell from the hibiscus.

T - Citrus rind, some strawberry and apple, finishes with bitter, piney hops. Not very flavorful, a bit more sour than I expected.

F - Light-to-medium bodied. Good bubbly carbonation, slightly astringent. Finishes a little sticky and dry.

O - A nice concept from this Phoenix brewery, but drinks more like a speciality sour beer than a pale ale. Not very strong in smell or taste, and those are selling points in any beer I like to drink. Stick to their flagships and you can't go wrong.

Picked up a 12 oz single from TW Arrowhead 10-9-1 for $1.99. Canned on 9-25-17.

Beer poured a Pinot Noir red with a solid head that left lacing behind.

Nose was light floral hops.

Taste was floral hops forward with a light touch of citrus and mango. Finish was a light floral hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and fairly refreshing.

Overall a decent beer, somewhat different with the use of hibiscus flowers for coloring and flavor, but something i would not pursue again but would drink if offered.

Brewed for the Phoenix Coyotes hockey team; consumed on draft at the game (3/11/17) against the Devils.

Pours a filtered ruby color with a fluffy head.

Aroma is lacking. It is very light with only generic citrus notes to brag.

Taste starts with a nice tickle of carbonation and some citrus. This transitions into a red wine character, which is unique and appealing. However, the finish has a metallic quality, almost penny-like. This ruins the rest of the beer for me, perhaps it is the hibiscus?

Overall, this is a cool collaboration, but the beer itself is not all that good unfortunately. It did pair well with a side of BBQ pork nachos. It gets a 70/100.
