L’Infusée looks over-steeped - things get mega-murky. It goes from orange soda to extra pulpy orange juice about half way through the bottle and turns from bright, clear, and visibly carbonated to some kind of flat, swampy looking puree. This beer is likely to win you over but it won't be with its looks.

At first I didn't understand what was meant on the label by stating each the black, green, and red rooibos teas contain fruits or herbs. I supposed it was an error in translation. Smelling and tasting it, however, challenges that assumption. Obviously something more was used to get a bouquet so fragrant. I suspect the teas are "infused" themselves...

Such vivid, nectarous apricot and mango flavours are hard to accomplish even when brewing with the actual fruits - let alone when you don't! This kind of candied, almost bubblegum-y fruitiness is generally achieved only through addition of "natural" or "artificial" flavouring, a trend that's become very popular in the tea industry. If I were a betting man - and I am - I'd bet it's no coincidence.

Of course, I may be wrong. It's very possible the citrus quality stems from orange rind (this is billed as a "bière blanche" after all) or the presence of bergamot if earl grey was used. The latter would help account for the tremendous floral perfume that also includes rosehip, jasmine and vanilla blossom.

L’Infusée is a very unique and extremely likeable beer. I typically think of tea as something for tired, rainy mornings or quiet nights before bed, but in this it imparts exciting, invigorating floral and fruity flavours best suited to a sunny day, a sandy beach, and a tiny umbrella resting on the rim of your glass.

3.82/5  rDev +2.1%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Look: Yellow-orange colour, not much head, but lots of carbonation keeps a constant off-white film on top.
Smell: clementine, dried berries, Chinese green tea, vanilla, cedar and candies
Taste: very fruity, green tea iced tea with fruit syrup
Feel: lots of carbonation, sweet but not overly, well balanced.

Overall: not my kind of beer, but definitely well made. I'd try it with dessert rather than on its own.
I love Brasseurs du Monde's L'Interdite 90 minutes. They have the same commitment to quality in all their beers.

Cloudy straw-colored with medium carbonation. Smells like a tea house! Lots of different smells together, I also smells candy cane, red licorice, really fruity really sweet. On the taste I still feel the candies it's a really sweet beer, really interesting. Doesn't taste like a wheat bear at all.
