Hi-Wire Brewing Brett Pale Ale (w/ red roselle hibiscus)

Aroma: “Slight sweet and tart complexity from the hibiscus. A touch of Brett similar to horse blanket with some spicy clove phenols, too. Moderate banana esters and some vanilla.”

Flavor: “Moderate tartness and carbonation up front with hibiscus and light sweetness. Mild hops bitterness that blends well with the leather and barnyard Brett flavor. Moderate acidity, with a touch of bubblegum.”

Overall: “Good Brett character with a mild sweetness and a big hibiscus flavor that dominates at times. Good carbonation levels for the style keeps the sweetness in check.”
