Pint can from Chuck, poured into a Duvel tulip.
A- After a foam crests the can upon opening, a gentle pour creates 1-1/2 finger of off-white head. The body is a slightly hazy, bright, light gold with a few yeasty floaties and heavy carbonation. The head settles to a light foam and leaves nice rings.
S- Herbal tea (or even a white or green tea with honey). Some sugary sweetness and tropical fruit (pineapple/mango/melon). Soft hints of smooth alcohol.
T- Very flavorful. Lots of sweet malt and tea-like qualities up front. I get all sorts of honey, fruity chewing gum, and fresh tropical fruit and melon-like qualities from the first sip. A little hint at the ABV as well. Difficult to discern what is tea and what's floral and spicy hops or added spice (black pepper/grains of paradise). Either way, it works.
M- More robust than the light color suggests. Medium-heavy carbonation and alcohol warmth ( not harsh).
O- They nailed what they were going after. It's definitely high octane and tea infused. I enjoy an occasional tea, so it's good in my book. Glad a good friend left this as a departing gift.

O-Gii pours a copper color, with a larger, long lasting head. Aroma is boozy, with some sweet spice and candy. Flavor is sweeter, spice and candy, alcohol helps to balance it out. Good body and feel.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a small white head. Smells of sweet grain, with wheat notes. Tastes of wheat with just a hint of tea notes, and slight fruit notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

Had on draft. Best way I can describe this is like drinking some shitty malt liquor. Okay when I was 18. Not so much now.

Those who don't like a sweet, aromatic wit need not apply. This beer, when properly poured and consumed, is a exhilaratingly different beer. Don't drink more than 2 unless you have someone to drive...

Pours light hazy, darker gold. Thick, medium, white head that lasts a while.
Smells tropical, tea, caramel, citrus, honey.
Tastes citrus and sweet tea, honey, caramel malt and some light herbal bitterness. Finish is semi sweet with herbal linger. Medium body and smooth medium carbonation.
Sweeter than expected
