Now this is an experimential beer.

I was surprised when I recieved a glass topped with ice with a lemon, but if you are going to go 80% why not 100%. Boston Beer Works commits to the ice tea idea as they give you a ice tea beer hybrid.

While some BA's may cringe at the idea, I think its pretty cool, and its also a big hit over at the Fenway location amoung the Malt beer drinkers.

The taste is distintivly ice tea, which is almost overpowering. The taste is nice for a summer day, but I didn't enjoy having a beer where ice, hidden under the head, hit my teeth.

This beer goes down smooth but packs a punch, so beware.

No taxation without representation with this one on 6/12/2005. 16-oz. “pint’ at the Fenway location.

Frothy at top that settles and sticks to the ice cubes, yes, ice cubes. Very milky orange hue and can’t really see any action happening. Ice cuts down on the nose tremendously, but with some deep pulls I get some light malt, lemonade, Nestea ice tea, and a touch of clover honey. Hmnn, kind of an odd sweetness, almost watermelony, on the mouth; also, an alluring medicinal quality – herb-like, maybe some kind of hop addition as it ends with just a resinous twinge.

Addictively drinkable and thus equally dangerous because this is not a weak beer.
