Bottle with KBL. Smells oxidized, but I guess that is the tea. Rounded caramel, grass, pine. High carbonation, muddy ass orange-gold, with lace. Sweet biscuit and honey, huge bitterness, pine, earthy, grassy, a bit of cabbage. The tea functions quite strangely, comes off as oxidation. Very astringent.

Bottle from the brewery, served in a pint glass. It’s a very cloudy, well opaque, golden honey brown with a thick filmy off white head. The aroma on this is really nice: fruity hops combined with spices - I get something like oregano from it and some earthiness.
Quite full bodied, in the initial it’s very earthy, pine, some sweet citrus but man in the aftertaste that bitter tea quality really kicks in. The aftertaste is woodsy, earthy, bark, pine, some citrus. It’s not as insanely bitter as I expected after a few sips but I predict that it will cummulatively build up.
I love this wacky April Fool’s Day Series from Sankt Gallen and can’t wait to see what they cook up for next year.
