Pours deep gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Tea and tropical fruit aromas. Sharp and dry with sweet tea and tropical fruit upfront turning quickly to a quite bitter and lasting earthy finish.

Can from Bert’s Huge coconut on the nose with a bit of chocolate nuttiness. The flavor is again huge on the coconut with a moderate chocolate maltiness to counter. Too much coconut for my tastes.

Tall boy. Mostly clear gold with ample carbonation. Aroma has a moderate herbal character with light citrus and very mild pine. Throughout the sip I detect a herbal / earthy lingering note that no doubt comes from the tea. The citrus is on the mild side with the pine a weak after-thought in the finish. The mouthfeel has a light zing that makes it lively. I finished the 16 oz. rather easy but I was not craving more afterwords. I like the creativity from the brewer.

Can: Black, with a slightly purplish, dark tan head. Light, smoky chocolate scent. Slightly over-cooked coffee, bitter chocolate taste... Light ashy bitter. Not bad, but pretty weak and watery overall. Needs a bit more punch....and less phantom.
