Poured into a weizen glass. Pours a slightly hazy, medium coppery amber with a fine, two finger white head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of wheat malt, mildly biscuit, banana and apple, mildly floral. Flavor is wheat with a light graininess, rose hips and lemon, floral. Finishes with wheat and a light rose hips tartness. Medium bodied with light to medium creaminess, nice mouth feel for a wheat ale. Tastes as advertised, a lightly floral take on a wheat ale brewed with rose hips. The wheat ale base is quite nice, and makes me want to try any hefeweizen they might make. The light creaminess to the body is a plus for me. Rose hips are an interesting addition to a wheat ale and although the hibiscus is rather muted, it adds a vague floral note. I enjoyed this quite a bit more than some of the other reviewers. Refreshing and looks nice.

473ml can - made with hibiscus and rose hips, not to mention Belgian yeast.
This beer pours a murky, yet bright medium apricot amber colour, with two hefty fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly tan head, which leaves some streaky and sudsy cirrus cloud form lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of grainy and crackery wheat malt, muddled estery floral notes, a slightly spicy yeastiness, ephemeral berry fruit, and very, very subtle earthy, weedy, and musky hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser astringent wheatiness, some still hard to pick apart floral acridity, kind of meaty Low Countries yeast, a faint peppery spice, and more rather bland earthy, dirty, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as the general edginess kind of precludes that by default here. It finishes trending dry, for the exact same reasons as just mentioned in the mouthfeel.
Overall - yeah, I don't think that this turned out how the brewer intended it to, what with the disjointed floral character, and the suggestion of the bed of dry soil in which it languishes. Not an image, or especially a flavour, that I typically want anywhere near my beer.
