Orbz is a double IPA with taro and black tea?? Bubble tea inspired, with a creamy sweetness balanced by tea, Wolf, and Fox hops!

Poured a cloudy yellow body with minimal head and lace ring. Orange-juice like aroma with not much else. Thick, heavy, pulpy, bitter, acidic (again - orange juice) with a sharp finish.

On tap at brewery:
Definitely a tea IPA. Darker than a pale, but actually tea-like in looks (a light amber-brown). Making up for this “non-pale” looks is a decent head and solid lacing.

Nose is an herbal tea with a spritz of lemon. Flavor throws a little spice into the mix. Early sips had a heavier tea note, but that blended decently by mid-glass. The earthy tea notes are a strong thread through this beer.

Not too sweet but not really much bitterness either. Listed as a (double) IPA, I wouldn’t necessarily approach it as such.
