473 mL can, chilled and poured into a pilsner glass.

Apperance- Pours a clear golden amber colour with a huge three fingers of soapy white head that very quickly dissipates to a nice bubbly top eventually surrendering a bubbly ring leaving

Smell- The smells coming from this one are very interesting, but in a good way. I definitely do get the lemon and tea aromas right away which are quite inviting. There is a somewhat weird aroma that I can’t really put my finger on, and other than the lemon aromas there’s not too much else going on here.

Taste- The tastes are actually better than the smells, the lemon tea aromas come through so much better in the tastes, it actually does taste like a lemon tea; to be honest it also really reminds of a box of fruit loops both in the tastes and aromas. Some mild malty grain flavours coming through in the background as well, I’m not really getting much hops but maybe that’s because I am used to hop dominated American IPA’s?

Mouthfeel- Light bodied with what starts off with ample carbonation that quickly turns into a below average carbonation, it is a very smooth, crisp, and refreshing beer though.

Overall- Very interesting beer here from a very quality Ontario craft brewery, I know it’s not your average beer and I haven’t seen any other lemon tea beers out there (and I make trips down to the states monthly). But for how out there this beer may be, it is something that you probably don’t want to miss, especially for you lemon and tea lovers this is a no brainer. I would definitely get this one again to sit down on my patio and drink it during a hot summer night, congrats Mill St. yet again another very quality beer, you keep showing us Ontarioins what you’re really made of.

This was one of the draft offerings at Craft Beer Market in Calgary.
This beer arrived looking slightly hazy, brown orange liquid with a short chunky head. Foam quickly faded leaving no lace.
It smells of black tea, along with some caramel malt sweetness. The taste has a distinctive iced tea flavor. I was pleasantly suprised by both the aroma and taste, with the iced tea coming through nicely, but still not overpowering. Refreshing lemon finish.
The carbonation is average, the body light, would make a great hot weather / summer drink.

Pours a hazy, maize color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Great retention and good lacing. Smells of strong earl grey tea, slight pale malt, slight sweet malt, and a hint of hop. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Fits the style of a Herbed / Spiced Beer. Tastes of strong tea, slight pale malt, slight sweet malt, and slight hops. Overall, good appearance, aroma, and body. Since, this was a 'tea' beer the domination of tea in body and aroma was very pleasing. I also enjoyed the distinct and discernible flavor of the Earl Grey.
