What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Citrus fruit up front with light lemon and lime mixed with tea leaves, mango, pineapple plus a light spiciness and low vanilla.”
Flavor: “The lemon lactic tartness of the Berliner hits with notes of mango and a little pineapple. The tea character provides some earthiness and complexity throughout the taste with big fruitiness of pomegranate, blood orange, lemon, and lime. Nice carbonation. Refreshing through the finish.”
Overall: “A lot of fun things going on in this beer. The tea, fruit notes, and Berliner all added to the taste and led to a balance between tartness and fruitiness. Easy drinking and perfect for summer afternoons outdoors.”
What the Brewers Say
“A wave of tropical fruit and spice brighten this lively, tart wheat ale, taking the German Berliner Weisse tradition on an island run. Hopfentea, steeped on a house-made tea blend of dried mango, papaya, hibiscus & lemongrass, pairs well with light appetizers, salads and high humidity.”
