COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A remarkable wheat beer infused with a blend of Orange Pekeo and Earl Grey teas. It pours a light amber colour and will charm you with its sublime tea flavour and subtle lemon twist. A trully Canadian take on one of Europe’s newest beer styles.

473ml can. Pours golden and hazy. Airy, big bubbled white head. Nose is lemon with wheat. Flavour of toasty wheat with lemon peel, tea in the background. Faint citrusy bitterness. Dry finish. Light body, fairly snappy crisp carbonation. Would not actually be too bad in the summertime.

From the can, thanks to robinboyer! The pour is a nice golden color with a small but thick off white head. The aroma is really like tea with fresh squeezed lemon. The flavor was a little disappointing compared to the aroma. I was hoping for a little more lemon tartness, but it was mostly like sweet tea, with a touch of lemon peel. Pretty watery too, but not a bad beer. Definitely unique.

Nice Tea Smell, a little dark, surprisingly very tasty for a fruity beer, very smooth. Actually was really satisfied with this beer

Interesting taste, unlike any other beer I have tasted but its quite nice. This beer pours basically no head and is lightly carbinated. I would buy this again.

Lemon pledge aroma. Clear golden with thin white head. Lemon, slightly carbonated tea taste. Easy summer drinking.

[bottle] Nice caramel malt aroma with some lemony grapefruit and a touch of pine. Foggy copper under white wisps and a ring. Pleasant caramel malt flavour up front quickly yields to fresh lemon peel that is accompanied by grapefruit hops and a very weak bitterness. The finish is malt again with a little caramel citrus. I’m not sure where the tea comes in. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, clean finish. Refreshing.

355mL Bottle from the Mill St. Summer Taster Pack. 5%. Clear golden pour with a bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is lemon tea. Taste is lemon tea, but has a North American wheat ale component to it, you can taste the wheaty grainy texture, with a bit of a yeasty kick. I thought this one was destined for the drain, but this is unbelievably pleasant.

gilvanblight (678) - Windsor, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 20, 2010
Slightly orange pour. Foamy white head. Lemony scent. Actually does remind me of Tea. Odd taste. Thought it tasted somewhat like a Wit... then I checked the label and saw it was a Wheat beer. Definite lemon and citrus. Like a really citrusy Wit with lemon vs. orange rind. Rather like this. Very easy to drink. A touch too sweet. Would buy this again.

Zenwolf (267) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 18, 2010
Light, bright. clean and refreshing. I also got lemon iced tea, but more so when it was too cold. When it warmed up the wheat, grass and lemon came up. Very approachable light summer beer. Not nearly as complex as traditional fruit beers. It’s a good “gateway beer” to bridge the lime beer lovers into craft.

dark gold pour with a foamy white head. Lemon citrus and thin black tea in the aroma. Some toasted wheat maltiness combine with unsweetened iced tea and lemon body,
