0.25l bottle at the Hopdevil, Zagreb I seem to have liked this more than most.Poured a nice orange/amber colour with a small creamy head. The nose was quite nice. Rose water, lemond and a touch of yeast. The taste is... yeah, tea, dry, a bit astringent even, lemon (but not too much of it), some bubblegum and yeast. Original and interesting. Less ice tea like than I thought it would be. Oh, and a big part of the label was in Chinese. Odd.

Clear nut brown, not much head. Burned brown sugar aroma. Starts sugary, then tea leaves flavor, in the finish and aftertaste there is some acidity. As good as you can get by combining tea and beer.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small foamy head. Fruit strawberry and raspberry along with tea in aroma. Fruits and berries along with tea (incl the dryness) in the flavour. Very pleasant. Sweet and sourish finish and aftertaste.

(Bottle 25 cl) By now I really shouldn’t let myself be surprised by anything when it comes to Belgian beers - but a tea beer?? Come on...! I guess the growing popularity of ice tea is the explanation for this, and really it is rather close to a soft drink. Clear, amber colour with a small, fizzy head. First impression is sweet and sour - sweet citrusy - but quickly I sense the tea flavours although they are rather fleeting. Not exactly unpleasant but not for every day either. 230999

Bottle Amber, golden, pale body. White creamy head, which diminishes totally. Good lace. Peaches in the nose. Lightly sout, heavuly sweet initial flavour. Moderately sweet finish. Please don’t promote this, because I fear it would sell quite well anyway, but it would be another defeat for the artisnal beers.

Orange-red-amber, (tea)totally clear; short dense yellowish head. Quite fruity nose, faint whiff of Brett and lambicpipes, sourish. Sourish taste, very wood, and lemon. And at the end, there's an aftertaste - I somehow recognise it as tea (I ought to, given that tea is the only beverage I drink more than beer). No Earl Grey, no Assam or Nilgiris here - the worst of Lipton-on-ice, lemon flavour included. Artificial lemon, at that, out of a yellow plastic bottle. Even not refreshing - too much sugar added. Beyond awful. In my own classification, it doesn't even get a tick. This is juvenile soft drink, not beer.
