Compass Sparkling Ale with Rose Hips

"& citrusy hops" is why I snatched this one up. I'm drinking it pretty cold, so no hop aroma, but it has bitterness and somewhat unusual flavors. Otherwise, less remarkable than I was hoping for : ( But not a bad swill, just not something crazy, though its pleasant flavor really hides some big booze on the back end. Alas, I must go to my own recipes for that craziness. And now that I'm on break from school, I definitely will! ID
