Description
Hibiscus de Boulbi is a blend of 1-, 2-, and 3- year old lambics with hibiscus infused. It is bottled in 75cl bottles and listed as 6.9% ABV. The first batch was blended by boiling 1.5kg of hibiscus flowers in 9 liters of lambic wort. After the boiling process, only 7.5 liters of this concentrate was left. This concentrated hibiscus lambic was then allowed to cool to 30 degrees centigrade and then blended with 112.5 liters of a lambic assemblage to achieve the final dilution. Approximately 150 bottles were produced in this first batch.
