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 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.

hazy orange to amber colour, medium sized dense and quite stable yellowish-beige-ish off-white head; aroma of tea, fruity and toasted, as well as some buttery notes; taste of syrupy-caramel sweetness, some hoppy-resiny notes, tea and moderate fruitiness; not bad, though not a serious example of its style

0,33 bottle. Egészen mély borostyán szűretlen opálos szín. Habja barnásfehér, nagy, tartós. Illatán érezni nyers teafüvet, finom nemes komlók gyümölcsösségével. Közepesen szénsavas. Nagyon testes, finom, komlós, kesernyés, fanyar. Alkohol is érződik, de nem zavaróan. Picit édeskés, de az IPA jegyek dominálnak. A tea annyira nem érezhető, talán egy minimális kesernyés utóízben. Tömör, összetett, hab nálam végig hatalmas. Nagyon finom és ajánlott!
***
Quite deep amber unfiltered opaque color. Its foam is brownish white, large, durable. On the scent you can feel raw tea grass with the fruitiness of delicious noble hops. Moderately carbonated. Very full-bodied, delicious, hopy, bitter, astringent. Alcohol can be felt, but not disturbingly. It’s a little sweet, but IPA tickets dominate. The tea is not so noticeable, perhaps with a minimal bitter aftertaste. Compact, complex, foam is huge with me all the time. Very delicious and recommended!

0.33l bottle. Hazy dark copper body with a lasting white head. The aroma doesn't show a lot. Toast and tea can be felt and a hint of molasses, but not much more. Taste of caramel, orange, toast and citrusy hops. For a DIPA it's not that hoppy at all. Not sure what was the goal here, but I won't be surprised if the recipe would be tweaked in the future.

Kicsi, tartós hab, barna szín. Teás, narancsos, kissé fűszeres illat. Kissé édeskés, teás, narancsos ízek, némi fűszeres beütéssel. Közepesen testes, alig szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Ipának kissé visszafogott, de finom sör, jól eltalált ízesítéssel.
