Tap at Unorthodox. The tea and IPA do not combine particularly well, rather halfway. Drinkable, good in its own way, but feels too little as an IPA, too fruity as a tea beer. Average rather.

Bottle thanks to wombat23, who kindly made up for my Slovenian shortfall with a couple Hungarian bottles. Orange with a frothy to creamy head. Peaches in the aroma. A touch herbal.. not picking up the Earl Grey tea though. Taste is bitter from beginning to end with a lingering herbal note I can’t place but am guessing is bergamot. Medium body, soft carbonation, warming at the end with a touch of raw alcohol, which would be the fatal flaw in an otherwise pleasant excursion. Stronger than it needs to be.

Bottle, huge thanks I&M, shared with heavy. Hazy orange-golden body, timy white head. Tea and citrus notes in the aroma on candyish maltiness. Simple dry malty background, herbal bitterness, citric bergamot touches - quite interesting and prominent, before heading into a big bitter finish. Not bad really, but could use a better body.
