A remarkable wheat beer infused with a blend of Orange Pekeo and Earl Grey teas. It pours a light amber colour and will charm you with its sublime tea flavour and subtle lemon twist. A trully Canadian take on one of Europe’s newest beer styles.

This wheat came out of the can a nice golden colour with a big, bright white head. To the nose there are scents of lemon, grass, cream, corn and tea. First sip was a little thin but the flavours of tea and lemon were nicely added. Not too strong and not underflavoured. Perfect balance. Tea flavour lingered with lemon long into the palate.

Enjoyed at the 2010 Bluesfest in Ottawa (as Mill Street is the one that got the contract this year). The beer is slightly hazy with a caramel-looking colour. Nice creamy head that is white and stays a while. Aromas of light tea with the citrus and hints of mint even. Medium-bodied with a nice crispiness to it. Grainy malt taste with the lemon zest. I did not know what to expect of this one, but I must say... it is quite a nice achievement. I really enjoyed this one in the heat of Bluesfest and glad to see it now available in cans at the LCBO.

A dark golden amber beer with a thin white head. In aroma, Nestle lemnon tea aroma over nice German hops and some caramel malt. In mouth, a pleasant mix of a classic German pils, crisp and smooth, with lemon tea, with the tea grassyness noticeable, some nice Saaz hops, quite well made. Surprised I actually like this.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep golden color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of orange and tea is more dominant then expected and very unique. Taste is quite intense with lots of notes of tea and orange with a bland malt bill. Body is slightly fuller then I would have expected with good carbonation. I must admit that this was a more intense experience then I was expecting and even now I am not sure if I would want to try this often thought I wouldn’t say this was a bad beer.
