#ladybroz is the same exact recipe as Broz Day Off(4.8% Citra IPA) except we added a ton of whole Hibiscus flowers and a little bit of grapefruit juice. The hibiscus turned this already rad citra bomb crusher into a straight up #pinkdrank. It also provided a bit of acidity which really softens the mouthfeel and enhances the bright hop character. The hibiscus contributes an awesome subtle herbal(but not overbearing) character too. The grapefruit was solely added to also soften up the mouthfeel and add a subtle complexity. It is not a prominent component in the flavor profile and was intended not to be. If you are looking for a grapefruit bomb, you might be disappointed. If you are looking for a really complex, low abv, citra forward IPA that's pink, this is the one for you!

Thanks to SammyJaxxx for this unique beer.
Pours a pink to ruby hue with lots of haze. Practically chunky.
Smell is of bright citrus and some floral, almost cooling, notes.
Taste is slightly citrusy, a bit juicy, but with a fruity hibiscus that then goes slightly toward mango. But all is smooth and slow.
Mouthfeel is chewy. I think there's plenty of fiber in this one.
Overall a pretty interesting, and good, beer. But very different for an IPA.
Maybe less fiber would help it a bit.

Appearance is an odd plum color with a small head. The nose is dominated by grapefruit
Taste is grapefruit and sweet fruit. Hibiscus is not in the picture.
Enjoyable but it seems that they did little more than dump grapefruit juice into their pale. A subtler hand could have blended them into something more than this.

16 oz can. Pours cloudy reddish pink, thin fizzy head fades fast, no lacing. Floral citrusy aroma. Fruit juice taste, ruby red grapefruit, the flower presence is there, grassy herbal finish. Soft mouthfeel. Very different brew, but good.

Pours super cloudy magenta, like a cloudy glass of Sangria, with small white head..fades to a ring. I have to admit that I am not one who rates a beer low due to a cloudy nature. It is unique, and I rate it decently for that. The aroma is big with orange, other citrus, hibiscus, tropical fruit, and some dark fruit notes. Flavor is big orange, hibiscus, grapefruit, candied lemon, mango, peach, that dark fruit again..and maybe white grape/lychee on the finish.. insanely full of flavor. The feel is medium and almost smoothie like, yet thirst quenching on the way down. Low carbonation perfectly accentuates the overall mouthfeel. Overall ..very interesting combo here.. Love this beer!
