16 oz. can. Looks like pink grapefruit juice. Small white head. Smells of hibiscus, grapefruit, tropical fruit, and some light fruitiness, like berries, but kinda acidic? Hard to describe. Tastes like grapefruit most of the way. As the grapefruit dies down, the hibiscus comes through. Floral flavors build with, again, some hard-to-pintpoint tart-berry flavor. Grapefruit bitterness rounds it out. Medium body. Fascinating combination of flavors. I rather like it.

Pours cloudy opaque tannish dark pink with a creamy frothy white foam head. Smells like fresh juicy pineapple, hibiscus flower, clove spice, red grapefruit, orange citrus, passionfruit, guava, strawberry, fruit punch, bready crackery malts, some tropical funk, with spicy floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Tastes like juicy pineapple, hibiscus flower, clove spice, red grapefruit, orange citrus, passionfruit, guava, strawberry, fruit punch, bready crackery malt, some dry tropical funk, with spicy floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels medium-full bodied, creamy and smooth with moderate low carbonation. Overall a real nice dry-hopped pale ale with hibiscus and pineapple.
