A standby in teas and juices, hibiscus flowers provide Scratch #250 with its lovely pinkish hue and vibrant floral aroma. A mix of spicy, fruity hops gives this IPA a berry-like tanginess with underlying tropical notes.

Copper color. Clear. Little to no head (rim bubbles). Only a couple of spots for lace.
Sharp prickly nose of an over - hopped beer. No notable malt aroma.
The flavor mimics the nose except I do get some faint malt base. Rich body with muted carbonation. The hop is biting and long-lasting. Overall, good but unremarkable.
