The added Ceylon Tea and pieces of orange make this double IPA special. Along with the typical bitter taste of the kind, the unique taste of the tea and the light sweetness of the fruit together create true harmony.

Bottle shared at home. Pours deep copper, thin beige head. Nose is pretty weird, moderately fruity and hoppy and there’s something in there that reminds me of butter (not dms!). Taste follows the aroma and closes withe moderately bitter finish. Although not thin, it’s surprisingly easy to drink and and has average carbo. Not bad, but quite strange.

Fénylik a ceylon. Nekem nagyon átjött. Kitűnően sikerült passzintani a teját az ipás testbe. Megnézném szimplába is.

Bottle at a tasting. Tastes basically as I could expect it to taste. Moderate black tea, light orange, high bitterness, citrusy zesty, high carbonation, moderate body. Slightly caramelly, more hoppiness. I feel like too much is going on. Good though.
