Mother's Brewing Co. Blush! Pomegranate Hibiscus Wit
What the brewers say
“A subtly fruity and quenching Belgian wit brewed to stand up to summer’s swelter. Bright, mildly floral and tart; guaranteed to inspire deeds that will make you blush.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Nice wit character: orange peel, light phenols, floral hibiscus seems to be there and fits in nicely. There’s a sweet undertone too, tied to the hibiscus, as well as some toasty malt and graham cracker.”
Flavor: “Although it is refreshing and clean, the flavor doesn’t quite live up to the nose. The fruity pomegranate berry character is nice with some sweetness and fruit notes. It has a delicate tartness and the hibiscus adds depth and works well with the berries.”
Overall: “Beautiful nose, tolerable flavor. An interesting mix of tart pomegranate and high carbonation with an underlying wheat note. Herbal is in the middle and quickly dissipates into the aftertaste.”
