I enjoyed this. Hibiscus character is very nice and complements the yeast notes well. I would have liked a little more carb in a wit, but it was super tasty and I'd happily drink another.

I got some really weird and complex aromas from this that I think came from the tea, but the hibiscus comes through really strongly in the flavour and is complemented by the coriander. really made the flavours the main show and I enjoyed it a lot.

This was a very well made beer with a lot of interesting flavours.

This was super interesting. Coriander was very present, but not overwhelmingly so and nicely fit in with everything else.. though it was the most coriandery beer I ever had. The yeast did a great job of making it fruity. I can taste the hibiscus for sure, but couldn't find the orange. A flavourful journey all told. Thanks for sharing!

Another brew that fell victim to my cold, it comfortated me with its gingale like qualities. Tha KS Jeremy

Lovely beer! Did not know what to expect but wanted more after I finished. Excellent balance between floral & fruit. Well done.
