well, its iced tea with some light beer, pretty much that. orange powder and light tea aroma . light mouth .. pretty thin and non lingering. nothing i would ever buy but it was alright. . bought at The Beer Store on Lundy Lane in Niagara Falls..

Single can at checkout. Better than plain Coors Light. A bit like a cooler without any detracting sweetness. A bit of a soda water and flavoring taste. OK fo someone who wants to pretend to drink at the adult table.

341ml bottle pours a light golden color with a small white head that leaves virtually no lacing on the glass. Aroma and taste are dominated by iced tea. There is a slight presence of cereal grains and hops, but almost imperceptible. Light bodied with carbonation typical for the style. Overall, this brew is overpowered by the iced tea which makes it less of a beer.

Bottle, Trenton LCBO. Same light fizzy yellow I have come to ecpect from Coors Light. Very bubbly. Aroma of lemon and tea. Taste is decent - love the iced tea flavour mixed with..nothing. There is no beer base. This is weak iced tea. And cold enough, it tastes just fine. I’ll take this over the lime trend and most of this macro crap any day. Tasted in a barn, which likely makes it better. Seriously it could use more lemon and less malt. Not bad.

Bottle. Bright golden colour with an amber tinge and a largish snow white head. Aroma of not-too-sweet tea, lemon-lime soda, and a bit of honey. Light and crisp mouthfeel, very refreshing. Flavour is surprisingly pleasant off the top - natural tea notes that are a bit floral, along with some restrained honeyish sweetness. But unfortunately, the lemon notes that follow strike an artificial note that can be overlooked when the beer is cold, but as it warms up, the aftertaste develops an unpleasant chemically character that coats the palate. And as for the base beer, it’s pretty much buried by the tea and lemon flavours - which I guess is to be expected given how little aroma and flavour regular Coors Light has. So judged purely as a beer, it’s pretty poor. But comparing apples to... uh, something very similar to apples, it’s more enjoyable than most of the lime beers I’ve tried. Still, that’s pretty much damning it with faint praise. And really, my opinion won’t stop it from doing as well as I expect it will with the same demographic that made those lime beers so successful.

Canette 355ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de thé glacé en poudre sucré avec de faibles notes herbeuses (herbes mouillées). Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse. Léger goût fruité (citron artificiel) lors de l’entrée en bouche et qui laisse rapidement place à un goût de thé glacé en poudre assez sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve de faibles notes herbeuses (herbes mouillées). Post-goût court, composé d’un goût de thé glacé légèrement sucré avec des traces de grains cartonnés.

It’s 4% perrier flavoured with artificial lemon. If i had to choose, i would ake this over regulat coors light, but it’s still pretty bad.

Canette de 355ml. Drôle de bière si c’est possible d’appeler ça une bière. Plus la dégustation avance plus le mal de tête s’installe. Franchement. On est plus dans le thé glacé que dans la bière. Le mélange est aucunement un succès.

Shawn’s right, this isn’t for keeping.... I’ll admit the first time he posted a pic of this on facebook it shot to the top of my mental wants list, after he sent me a bottle I guess I got used to seeing it in my fridge, made me happy every time I opened the fridge... knowing that one day I would get to drink the T Glacé. But that day has come.

The beer pours a pale golden with a big fluffy white head that recedes quickly.

The aroma is reminiscent to a citrus forward witbier... sweet but not in a candy like way, fruity... and a little like suntan lotion (in a good way). There is defiantly an Iced tea character to the nose, but the citrus and fruitiness comes out more.

The flavor is not bad, something about the Iced Tea sort of reconciles the corny and sweet character that makes me not want to drink Coors Light. It’s tart and lemony, lightly sweet but has a light and sharp bitterness. It most defiantly tastes like Iced Tea... but not like high quality black tea that you poured over ice and squeezed a lemon into... but also not like the Iced Tea that comes from a soda fountain. It’s that type of Iced Tea that’s in the middle of those... Like the sort of Iced Tea you would get at a place where you pay $18 for your entree. Iced tea that get’s brewed fresh daily as opposed to tea that get’s brewed to order. It’s enjoyable, refreshing tea.. and it marries well with Coors Light.

I know folks say this all the time, but if this had been made by a "cool kid" brewery folks would hail how refreshing and sessionable the beer is and talk about how well integrated the tea is....
This stuff isn’t amazing but yes, it’s refreshing and sessionable, and the tea is really well integrated. I enjoy this very much. I’d grab a sixer of it now and again if I could.
