Bought a 4 pack from the liquor store. Pleasantly surprised when poured it into a glass. Really nice frothy head, and great lace. Very cloudy appearance, and active carbonation for a long time. Smell is very pleasing definitely get the tea, also mango and citrus detected. For a strong beer with 6%, you really don't get a strong alcohol taste. Could easily hammer several back on a summer day and get blitzed. Only thing I didn't love was that it left my mouth extremely dry... time for another.

This is definitely not what I expected! A complex, interesting beer that marries fruit, team and the refreshing spice of a traditional saison. Today’s sunshine makes me think this would be a dandy beer for warm summer days.

16oz glass at the brewpub just off of Whyte Ave in the old bagel shop, I think? Made with 'heaps' of Oolong mango tea, apparently.
This beer appears a hazy, yet bright medium apricot amber colour, with a very thin cap of wispy and barely bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of forked lightning lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of zesty and earthy mango flesh, gritty Low Countries yeast, a weakly tannic black tea thing, gently spicy wheat malt, indistinct peppery spice, and some plain leafy and floral green hoppiness. The taste is more big mango fruity fleshiness right off the bat, followed by some emerging wheat and grainy pale malt, a fading generic tea acerbity, muddled earthy spice, and more laid-back leafy, floral, and citrusy hop bitters.
The carbonation is fairly active in its roundabout frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, just a wee yeasty intransigence taking off the top layer of sheen here. It finishes off-dry, the persistent mango fruity character doing well to overshadow pretty much everything else.
Overall, Afternooner Tea Saison is a splendid summer quaffer, with the fruitiness of the adjunct tea predominating even the tea itself. No biggie, as the overall effect is very pleasant and engaging, and a killer alternative to those bland wheat ales out there - I don't have to name them, do I?
