Hibiscus & Dragon Fruit Tart is a tart session beer constructed to be a refreshing, easy drinking summer beer with a balanced amount of acidity, saturated flavor, and dry body. It is brewed with a significant amount of wheat in the grist bill and conditioned upon judicious doses of dried hibiscus petals and fresh dragon fruit. After resting for several weeks in stainless it is imparted with a tight and spritzy carbonation that dances gently on the tongue. It pours a gorgeous ruby red color in the glass and features tongue pleasing acidity balanced by zippy flavors of tangy cranberry, raspberry, kiwi, red kool-aid, and subtle funk. It finishes cleanly, eschewing bracing sourness, with hints of white wheat and cracker malt gracing the palate. Hibiscus & Dragon Fruit Tart aligns with our ideal of brewing and offering beer that is heavily saturated with flavor and pleasing to drink, time & time again.

16oz can: This one pours a clear, pinkish red color. There was a bit of a pink head that did'nt linger long or leave any lacing. Nice nose. A little lighter, but I get the fruit, faint tea and a touch of funk. This is tasty. A little bit tart, a little lighter bodied, dragonfruit and a bit of the hibiscus tea. Nice on a hot day!

pours out this ridiculously vibrant and glowing ruby color with a pinkish white head.
aromas are light - mellow floral quality, hibiscus, very bright fruity quality, mellow acidity, some sharp green herbal hints. overall it has a zing to it and is quite fruity and floral, very enticing.
palate has a hibiscus and tea like quality throughout, floral, very unique and exotic fruity flavors i assume are a result of the dragonfruit. also some almost funky acidic qualities that invoke lemon, crisp green apple, a hint of cranberry and cherry. clean grainy bread quality and fruity sweet tarts throughout. very well balanced, light, and crisp - just a a touch more bright acidity and tartness than other sours of this genre and that really sets it apart imo.
its so bright and clean, the mouthfeel is quite light but somehow still really fluffy ... wow!
