    One of my favorite beers. The collab was with Stone and 2 Japanese breweries, Ishii and Baird.

    Summit's Unchained #19 "Make it So" ESB brewed with Earl Gray Tea. This was a one-time beer released last August. If you're in the Summit distro, you may still find some on the shelves (but perhaps not).

    Dogfish Head Sah'Tea, if memory serves. I also remember getting a tea-like vibe from Finch's Hardcore Chimera.

    One of the strangest "beers" I've ever tried. A hopped braggot but the Black & Orange Pekoe that was added REALLY comes through...a little too much IMO. Beer tasted like despair...with a little honey on the finish.

    Fresh Surly Wet. Finally got to try it this year and 'green tea' was the one thing I kept coming back to when trying to describe it.


    That sounds awesome.

    I'll second this. Black tea is a very prominent note in this beer. Get you some

    Founders Spectra Trifecta Kolsch tastes like the beer was a collaboration with Celestial Seasonings.

    Ok so I found very few that agreed with me other than @Todd but I thought Anchor's Brotherhood Steam had a tea-like quality to it but with the anchor steam malt backing that we know and love. I crushed more than a few six packs while floating around in the pool this summer.

    It's not in season now but Unknown brewing Charlotte makes a beer called Southern Hospitalitea that is brewed with tea and honey.

    The aroma of Storm King gives me a major black tea sensation.

    And there's also the recent Chai IRS, obviously.

    Often that "Tea" taste is a Hoppy beer that is past it's prime.

    Old IPAs.
