It’s summertime. Hop bines are growing up to 6 inches a day. Hibiscus is in full bloom. And in Crimson Pistil, the two get in a glorious tangle of berry-like tanginess, sunset technicolor and sticky tropical notes.

12 ounce bottle in a chilled tulip glass.

Not quite "sunset technicolor", but it has the look similar to a summertime sunset. An aggressive pour ends with a modes 1/2F white cap that quickly drops to a film and leaves light lacing.

Floral, red berry and tropical fruitiness. Cherry perfume. A touch sweet. Inviting aroma.

Berry and floral infused grain. Parfait-like.

Hops give the fruits an edge. Not quite bitter, but still sharp. Well carbonated, light body but not thin. Clean and flavorful finish.

As a summer concept brew, twilight drinker, it works.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours reddish orange with a small white head. Smells of floral and citrus hops. Tastes of floral and citrus hops, very nice combination with the grain profile. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Pours a pinkish straw color with a decent head. This one has a high carbonation, so the bubbles are big and dissipate quickly. There is a slight floral aroma. Hoppy flavor, a bit on the bitter side. The feel is a bit sharp at the finish. Overall, this one is just okay. I wouldn’t buy it at a premium, but worth the try.

7/9/18....pours reddish brown, borders on pink. Lighter hued and minimal foam. Cherry floral nose, other tropical fruits blend in. Sweet and tart cherry/raspberry open with a fruity fresh floral meadow taste. Quick bitter bite at the end. Interesting.
