Had to try this one as a serious tea nerd as well as beer nerd, so seeing it on Beef O’Brady’s menu had me excited.

Appearance: Dirty tea brown and amber. Light head and limited lace.

Aroma: Sweet tea and a hint of fruitiness. Really impressive and very unique.

Taste: Very much a musty black tea. A little hint of hops is present, but this is the penultimate hybrid of tea and beer. Description as “black IPA” on beefs menu seems inaccurate. This, to me, is a wholly new style of beer.

I would gladly buy a sixer of this one.

Perhaps biased by the name, but to me the color reminded me of dark ice tea. 1/2 inch of nice head that stuck around a while. Again the smell as that of a sweet tea. Taste followed but with a nice slight bitterness. The hops imparted citrusy lemon flavor that resulted in a taste not unlike an Arnold Palmer with s bit of smoke. One of those interesting beers that I am glad I had but not one I need to enjoy more than once.

Dark tea color with a relatively short head of bone-white foam.
Aroma-Citrus hop note, faint tea
Taste-Upfront dark tea essence, smoky, citrus, herbal hops, rather flat finish.
Unique flavor and complexity, but doesn't quite tie it all together.
