- Tasting Notes
- Prominent orange flavor with tart lemon, berry hibiscus flavor
This is a clone from a local brewery in Houston, TX - Buffalo Bayou Summer's Wit. The flavor came pretty close to theirs although I did put more hibiscus in than originally planned and achieved a rich pink color. If I were to do this again I would use about 1.25 oz of hibiscus. This is a great, refreshing summer beer.
