 +Keg was under-carbonated, bottle was carbonated well. More carbonation was much better. Topped up the keg with extra CO2 and it greatly improved. \\
 +Very distinct rosehip flavor, similar to nyponsoppa in the aftertaste.  Very nice. \\
 +Very thick body, also reminiscent of nyponsoppa.  That's why more carbonation helped. \\
 +Can't taste the hibiscus, but it has a nice red color that hibiscus might have contributed to. \\
 +Almost no hop flavor.  I think those hops were bad.  This was fine, but some more hop punch would probably be good (both bitter and aroma). \\
 +Definitely worth brewing again. \\
