we couldn't help but pour out a bottle of the tea beer. the most surprising aspect of it's character is by far the clarity. this beer looked like a yeast slurry initially after transferred to the secondary, and after sitting for another week, was still too cloudy to see through. upon pouring the first bottle, the putrid nose that was present after opening the primary had completely dissipated. there is still a yeasty character to the beer that nevertheless highlights the spiciness of the german hops and wheat malt. the beer opens up on the palate with a lovely level of carbonation and lighter body thanks to the belgian candi sugar. it finishes with an earthy and gently tannic flavor contributed by the tea. but dang, she is beautiful to look at in the glass.
