This BeerAdvocate.com/Dogfish Head collaboration is a Kombucha tea inspired brew flavored with organic lemon peel, organic Assam and Sencha teas then fermented by a cocktail of symbiotic organisms cross-pollinating each other. The result is a light bodied yet flavorful drink with a tart flavor somewhat similar to Belgian Lambic beers but also displaying hints of earthy tea.

Thanks for sharing, Bobby.
A: The pour is a relatively clear golden color with a small white head.
S: There is a light funkiness to the nose that is accompanied by lots of lemon zest, tea, and a little bit of tartness. Lightly musty and earthy, perhaps a touch of mushrooms and dirt.
T: The flavor is sort of bland and a bit watery. Lightly sour/tart with some tea and earth flavors. There is a little bit of lemon and lemon zest. Just a hint of green apple peel to it.
M: Light bodied with medium carbonation.
O: Sort of like a watered down version of the TEA/Veritas 008 from Lost Abbey.
