The added ceylon tea and pieces of orange make this Double IPA special. Along with the typical bitter taste of the kind, the unique taste of the tea and the light sweetness of the fruit together create true harmony.

From a bottle in Budapest. Very deep honey color with a nice amount of carbonation. Head is dense and uniform and unfortunately, separates from the liquid after a few minutes. Nose of black tea, orange, and concentrated hops. The taste is much like the smell. The bitterness of the hops and tea are balanced out with the orange. The feel is rather thick and luscious for a blond beer. An interesting beer but wouldn't have more than one in a night, as it's not an easy sipper.

"Tea infused DIPA" the label boasts along with the Ariana and Mosaic hops that were used to brew this Double IPA.
Now the only downside for me was that I couldn't feel any tea flavor in it BUT nevertheless I found it a great IPA! Perhaps the orange peels can be recognized in the sweetness of the taste and it has a kind of distinct flavor but the tea (if any) wasn't so remarkable. It was a densely hopped, slightly taste-heavy DIPA, and as such, it was all good. A good one, just don't expect the Ceylon tea flavor.
