A: slight haze; pinkish copper in color; 1+ finger ivory head that receded to a wispy cap; very little lacing;
S: really nice - ripe blood orange and hibiscus;
T: mostly hibiscus from start to finish; blood orange way in the background, although it does pop a bit on the finish; no bitterness;
M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; lightly dry finish;
O: very nice; I do with the blood orange was more evident in the flavor;

On tap. I really like the base Leisure Time, and this variation is well balanced and nice for summer.
Pours a nice hazy deep orange color with a white creamy head. It has a nice subtle floral aroma and the taste is well balanced. The blood orange gives a nice citrus zing and a slight sweetness without overpowering. I think the feel is a bit off - the hibiscus and blood orange would have shone through with a more crisp clean base, while the wheat lager base here is smooth almost to the point of being a bit muddled as the beer warms up.
Overall: a very flavorful, tasty beer!

Hues of peach and gold, with a foamy, soft collar.
Light, fruity wheat is all I get on the nose.
In flavor, blood orange, if it really is that distinct from regular orange, is showcased prominently. The hibiscus is far in the background, but supporting the sweetness with a little bitterness. Actually, there is a soft, raspberry aftertaste which tends to be stronger than the hibiscus.
Frothy mouthfeel.
