COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In making our signature pale ale we knew we wanted to do something different. We needed something that stood out, complimented the subtleness of our pale ale, and said we will a pale ale like no other - whole leaf tea was the perfect ingredient. We then looked to the Sorachi Ace hop to produce a unique lemon flavor to compliment the tea. An incredible amount of tea goes into this beer so much so our brewers have a tough time getting the whole leaf tea out when done (picture the tea party men tossing chests of tea overboard). We named it Tea Party Pale Ale because the flavors seen to dance on your tongue and they stand strong in a sea of mediocrity.

Orange yellow color with aroma of lemon, tea, and a touch of pine. Lots of tea and lemon in the flavor with just a hint of hop bitterness to remind you this is a pale ale. Good beer.

Draft at the Phils game... Hazy, almost wanna say murky amber with small head, limited retention and the lightest of lacing.. aroma of caramel, and light fruits, possibly apples.. malty body, some very light hoppiness, ok flavor, but the body drinks way heavier than it should...

Draft at a Phillies game. Brown carmel color. Taste is hoppier then i expected. Not sure where the tea leaves are, but its pretty solid nonetheless

Just seems a bit out of whack. Hop profile leaves something to be desired, maybe the tea threw me off. Bitter, and not in a good, hoppy way. I appreciate the effort and pushing of the envelope, but this one just missed the mark.
