330 ml bottle sample at Kjetil’s farewell party. (The label states this as a collaboration brew with Nøgne Ø). Cloudy dark orange body with a nice off-white head. Aroma has mild caramel malt and ripe mango, peach fruit and hint of lavender. Flavor is mild, smooth malt, ripe mango, canned peach, hint of grapefruit and low bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. I don’t find the tea flavor here, maybe fruit tea if something. The fruity, floral description might sound like something really nice, but the ripe factor is too dominating, this beer misses some freshness. Might have been better previously but right now it feels to bland and close to overripe.

Bottle at Pibar, Lausanne
Hazy light amber color. It has a quite strong tea character, very dry, a bit lemony (melissa) and minty.
Good, but not impressive.

Bouteille 33cl, merci Pierre. De couleur orangée trouble, col moyen fin blanc-cassé. Arôme au bouquet enivrant de thé vert assez prononcé avec un léger retrait houblonné. Le tout n’est pas sans rappeler un sac de pellettes de houblons. Palais est également renforcé au niveau du thé qui prend une belle place. Note un rétro-nasal rappelant presque le boisé cèdre ou la muscade. Belle surprise avec un thé qui est mis en évidence et trouve sa place avec un palais feuillus de thé vert. Petite note herbacée et une fine amertume des houblons tirant vers les agrumes ajoutent à sa complexité. Malt balance le tout avec un profil pâle et caramel. Le caractère du houblon raffiné en un beau fruité légèrement amer prend plus de place sur la fin et se marie bien au thé.

9/I/15 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 10/XII/15 (2015-18) Thanks to Sebletitje for sharing the bottle!

Little cloudy deep orange beer, nice creamy irregular yellowish head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very interesting, smells like tea indeed, but not overpowering, bit funky, fruity notes, sweet, apricots, strawberry jam, some chemical touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity start, citrus, quite some strawberries, funky, some grapefruit, tea bitterness. Aftertaste: bit soapy, lychee, fruity, bitter, tea, some citrus, more tea in the end.
