0.33 l bottle in Toronto. Dark orange color. Very interesting flavor, real lemon ice tea aroma...

Pours a slightly hazy light copper colour with decent size white head that quickly turns into a small ring of white. Aromas are lemon(seems to be more of a real than artificial lemon), a tea like aroma, and some wheat and light malts. Taste like lemon tea with carbonation, wheat and light bitterness/sour combo. I think the lemon and wheat work alright together, more of a hot summer day refreshment.

On tap at Mill st. in Ottawa.I had this beer because the 3 other choices I wanted they were out of so .The color is a flat amber no head.The aroma not much of except tea. The taste as an ice tea very good but as a beer not so much just not enough in it to be good as a beer, but it was very refreshing.

refreshing to to see an alternative to lime beer...the earl grey and lemon was a nice touch.. to smell it it was delicious, and the flavour was not overbearing but subtle..

Can from YYZ airport brew pub. Pours a cloudy orangish copper with a nice big head and some lace. Smell is a lemony malty smell. Not too sweet or lemony either. Taste is like lemon tea with a hint of sweet and a little bitterness on the end. Okay lemon beer but lemon and beer shouldn’t go together.

Poured from a can a slightly cloudy amber with a fizzy head that quickly dissipated. The aroma is dominated by orange and lemon with bready undertones. Light and lively in the mouth with distinctive sweet, and very slightly sour citrus and tea flavours. Overall, a decent summer thirst quencher.

From can. pours a cloudy straw colour, fizzy head atop. Aroma lacking, wafts of sweetness some oranges. Tame wheat beer very little of the stereotypical features. Inital flavour of oranges leading to bitterness in the middle. Could be hops or could be cold bitter tea. Not unpleasant yet hardly refreshing either, a bit sticky. Fizzy mouthfeel.

Pours a murky orange color with a very tall, cream colored head that has a lot of staying power. Aroma has a very good amount of real lemon fruit citrus smell, very mild wheat malt presence and some earthy notes at the tail end of the nose. Flavor has a wonderful combo of a midl/strong lemon citrus bite and a smooth, slightly sour wheat malt flavorings. These two work extremely well in combination. The tea on my palate isn’t detected as well but I do have a bit of an earthy flavor in the middle which could be from this or the hops. The body is reminiscent of a heavy hefe. There is a modest amount of carbonation and its overall pretty smooth with only a slight acidic kick. Overall a pretty good beer. I pulled this out of the fridge thinking "Here we go again with an oddball combination" but in all honesty it worked out very well. Great refreshing, light beer.

Pours clear and gold, with a dissipating head. The aroma is a bit weak, but does consist of lemon, and earl grey tea. The taste is like a slightly weak wheat beer with a good dose of lemon, earl grey, and some tannic mouthfeel. Nice balance of acidity and sweetness. Light-bodied and easy to drink a few. This is excellent as a backyard beer.

If you like Earl Grey, you will love this. Pours a full off-white head that fully dissapates. Strong citrus and tea aromas. Very light body, and a faintly sweet finish. Very refreshing carbonation. Easy to drink, but tough to drink more than one after the novelty of the tea wears off.
