Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.
Just as with the Malty Assam, I have no idea what kind of flavor profile Grand Qimen tea provides, but I'm more than happy to get some idea here. This stuff pours a mostly clear brass topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose is almost nonexistent to me (when I gave a swig to VDubb, he got more than I did, so maybe my nose is acting up), but the ephemeral impression I do get resembles lemon water. The taste runs a rather similar parallel, with the strongest notes being lemongrass and lemon zest, tartness nonexistent, with some mild flowery and mineral water elements tossed in as the solvents. The body is a hefty light, with a light moderate carbonation and a liquid feel. Overall, a nice, almost refreshing beer, one that sacrifices the usual semi-sharpness of the pilsner's hops in favor of a more subtle tea effect. Not bad, really.
