Picked this, and a few other bottles, up from the brewery shop after the first lockdown. The bottle seems to have expired unfortunately, SEP21.
The description reads "Dragon-fruit Hibiscus sour" at 5% alcohol.
Served in my usual Seef tumbler.
Sent is what the bottle says. Malty sour, with bitter hints and plenty of tropical fruit.
Colour is a hazy golden amber without any head. May have poured too slowly?
Sour upfront and sour at the end with a slight tropical fruit intermezzo. Is that dragon fruit? Don't know, only had dragon fruit twice in my life.
The beer has some fruit flavour, but it's mostly a bitter and sour ale. The bitterness balance by some of the fruityness.
The aftertaste gives a more distinct dry hibiscus sensation (maybe enhanced by some hoppy dryness?) I only know hibiscus from herbal tea's. And that's exactly what the aftertaste reminds me off. I don't know if I like it though, when my beer tastes of granny tea.

This beer is from the one off experimental brews. So no second try's. It's not bad, but for me it lacks some body. Or maybe it's a summer drinker and with autumn seting in, I'm drinking this too late..
