It is just like my dad's iced tea. You know minus the alcohol.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours rather the color of iced tea with no head at all. Smells like used tea leaves that have sat out for a bit. Near med body. Flavor is fermented/black tea with just a hint of lemon and some sugar. It’s actually rather nice - the tea bitter tends to offset the sugar. Could be lake beer.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/22/2017. Pours crystal clear deep orange/copper color with no head. Some slight spotty lacing and streaming carbonation. Okay appearance. Aromas of lemon, black tea, brown sugar, honey, caramel, and herbal earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of lemon, tea, and dark malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, black tea, brown sugar, honey, caramel, and herbal earthiness. Slight herbal tea bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, black tea, brown sugar, honey, caramel, and herbal earthiness on the finish for a while. Good robustness and balance of lemon, tea, and dark malt flavors; with a bit of cloying sweetness after the finish. Minimal carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth and lightly slick/syrupy mouthfeel that is okay. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a decent fruit/spiced beer. All around good robustness and balance of lemon, tea, and dark malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Tastes like iced tea as advertised, but a bit too sweet. Hit all of my expectations. Fairly enjoyable.

Bottle. Lemon and peppery black tea aroma. Medium brown with minimal head. Moderately sweet lemon and tea flavor - tastes like the crappy canned Nestea lemon tea - if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in luck.

Bottle: Clear, dark amber with basically no head. Smells like tea...... Taste is.....well.....tea, but the really abominable over-sweetened kind that comes canned... Sugar, lemon/honey, sugar.... Clingy and filmy feeling. Not good at all.

Pours golden, flat. No head, no carbonation. Hell, my actual iced tea has more bubbles. Honestly, it doesn’t smell bad. It smells like a sweetened iced tea out of a plastic jug. Now, I’m a true northerner and wouldn’t ruin my iced tea by dumping a shitload of sugar in it, I will bi-yearly buy a jug of the raspberry shit sweetened with fake sugar and down it in one sitting. That’s what this reminds me of, except no raspberry. Flavor is... hmm... it’s like iced tea, sweetened with a shitload of corn syrup, add some perfume and lemon candy, and let it chill overnight. That’s what this is. I don’t hate it, but I’d never buy it again.
