Stillwater Sensory Series v.1 Lower Dens

This is a 6.0% ABV ale brewed with hibiscus from the Sensory Series from Stillwater Artisanal Ales. This beer was brewed and bottled by Twelve Percent of Westminster, Maryland. The sensory series is a "collaboration to create an experience to stimulate the 5 senses..."  Each beer appears to be paired with a band.

The beer pours a dark golden in color with just the slightest bit of haze. There is over an inch of thick and foamy white head. The aroma is yeasty, tangy, floral, vinous, reminiscent of white wine. The taste is light and delicate, following the aromas, but in an airy way, lots of hibiscus and white wine. The mouth is smooth, creamy and round, butting up against strong and fine bottle conditioned type carbonation. There is a light floral/herbal bitterness on the end. An interesting beer.
