A wave of tropical fruit and spice brighten this lively, tart wheat ale, taking the German Berliner Weisse tradition on an island run. Hopfentea, steeped on a house-made tea blend of mango, papaya, hibiscus & lemongrass, pairs well with light appetizers, salads and high humidity.

On tap @ Blind Tiger. Smells nice this. Orangey and fruity sweet. Traces of clementine and soda pop. Mildish perhaps but still rather nice. It's a cloudy orangeish colored one with a quickly sidesticking white film. Tastes really good. A good tropical sour bite with sour pineapple, kumquat and it's quite lemonic. Thin oily in the mouth and just above average on the carbonation. Refreshing and really something for the hot NYC sun. 16.06.2015

750 ml bottle. Cloudy yellow fog color. Aroma is sour grain, black tea leaves, maybe apricot.
Flavor has apricot / peach notes with the tea rather noticeable throughout the sip. Sour wheat in the center with lychee fruit hints. Some mild lemon acidity to it. Mouthfeel is lightly effervescent. Interesting enough but I don’t think I would ever seek it out again.

Tap at Sidedoor. Unfiltered orange-tan. Big steady white head. Big sour lactic tones. Fruity sour tones. Optimum US Berliner. Nice cheesy lacto tones. Pretty great, I don’t get much tea character at all.

Bottle thanks to Bryan. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a tiny white head. A big funky apricot nose, hops. Sourness, more dry yeasty funk. fresh fruity hops, a round fluffy feeling. Quite nice.
