Floral and citrus from the Japanese Green tea, harvested every year from our Brewmaster's tea field in Japan, melds harmoniously with German and French hops in this big, but agile IPA. A simple but robust malt profile and a high alcohol percentage help balance out the natural astringency from the hops and tea, creating a beer that opens with force but does not linger beyond its welcome. Sweet, honey- and biscuit-like notes fill the middle out, while the hops and green tea surround and suffuse the palate, creating a silken texture along the way.

Can. Rich fruity nose with lots of green tea. Ripe peaches, grapes, orange, light pine notes. Unobtrusive malt. Cloudy golden orange with greenish tints. Soft, lightly sweet, rich ripe grapes and stone fruit and tea. The tea is used magnificently. Lightly tart. Full, silky body with low carbonation. Excellent.

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. Can, thank you Davido. Hazy yellow pour. Fruity tropical nose, malty edge to it, soft. Taste is balanced, medium bitterness, bit numb. Light herbal feel, mainly herbal bitterness from hops but mainly from green tea, light citrus. Linger is a bit harsh, some more of that green tea coming out. Good one.

Hazy golden color. White head. Nice citrusy nose with green tea in the background. Slightly biscuity malty backbone with nice green tea character. Modest bitterness. Nice green tea ipa. Probably best green tea ipa I’ve had.
