Sounds really tasty to me. I'd like to try it with a hop variety more noted for its tea flavor contributions, but that's probably overthinking things.

I'd also try it with dry hopping the tea instead of putting it in the boil.

I think that dry hopping it with the tea would make the tea really overpowering. you've gotta be careful with hibiscus.

Ah, I meant the tea only (to reduce tannins), not the hibiscus.

Huge Rosales grower here, from Ginger Beer and Rosale "palmers" to now making this batch. Thanks for posting. Have you a Partial recipe? DME substitute, for those who are not doing ALL grain?
Thanks again.

I don’t actually. I started doing all grain so I have no experience with DME. Sorry. :/ do let me know if you enjoy it tho!
