Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear copper with a finger of head. Very floral tea, earl grey forward nose. Smooth with more tea on the palate, bitter iyokan pith and light caramel malt. Lingering bitterness, simple but straightforward. --- Beer merged from original tick of Lord Skylark Pale Ale with Earl Gray Tea on 15 Apr 2018 at 18:58 - Score: 6.

Seems like a good idea, but the execution’s rather middling, offering up nice Earl Grey notes but tying them to a rather unimpressive pale ale. Crackery malts sit on top of piney hops with the slightest tinge of orange zest, semisweet and somewhat resinous, the hoppy bitterness offsetting the moderate bergamot accents. But the beer side comes across too nondescript to really enjoy, and the tea gets overshadowed by the floral, medicinal finish. Missed opportunity.
