Pours on the darker side of gold in colour. Light and floral on the nose. On the taste, I detect summer flowers and perhaps some strawberry. Mouthfeel is nicely thin

473 ml can served cold into a chalice. Cost was about $3.85 CDN.
Appearance - Clear peach/ salmon colored brew with hues of amber. A finger plus of loose frothy white head is poured and sticks around for a few minutes. No lacing to speak of but some visible carbonation is apparent.
Smell - Some dark fruits, hibiscus, subtle notes of caramel even. Semi-interesting combo.
Taste - Quite malty with some surprisingly roasty flavors. Mild bitterness, hints of bready and hibiscus, the hops are quite muted. Some light berry flavors .Individually, some very nice flavors going on, not sure how cohesive they are. Nonetheless, tasty enough.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, maybe on the heavier side and some gassy carbonation.
Overall - Pretty decent hibiscus ale that definitely leans malty, which is a strange combo because hibiscus is a "lighter" flavor and aroma. Worth a try and maybe one to go back to.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Feb 25 2021 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a lightly fogged, pale pinkish-orange colour, generating more than a finger of lumpy, foamy white head that settles off within the next several minutes. A lovely curtain of doily-patterned lace is left behind, in addition to a tight, creamy collar and thin, filmy cap - looks enticing in the glass. The hibiscus provides a floral, fruity note that nicely complements the grainy, wheaty pale malt backbone; subtler hints of mandarin orange, apricot and berries are also discernible.
Not bad at all - there're a few layers of flavour here, and they all complement each other well. Flowery herbal hibiscus flavours develop early on, alongside a gritty, grainy, wheaty malt sweetness and hints of berry; suggestions of grassy, floral hop bitterness round out a mildly fruity finish with touches of orange citrus and stone fruit. Light hibiscus, coconut and berry persist into an understated, intriguing aftertaste that doesn't linger for long. Medium in body, with moderately spritzy carbonation that feels lively and prickly on the palate. Excellent drinkability - it made for a fine quaff on a mild, mid-March evening, but I figure it'd be even more refreshing on a warmer late spring/early summer afternoon.
Final Grade: 3.96, a B+. #5 Hibiscus Pale Ale was well worth the price of admission. It's a pleasant pale ale, nuanced but still quite flavourful - the hibiscus is definitely there, but the underlying ale also shines through nicely, resulting in a well-balanced brew with just enough depth to earn a fairly strong recommendation from myself. I've had more than a few hibiscus beers, but I don't return to very many of them - this is one that I plan to drink a few more times while it remains in circulation.
