Bee Tea |
Wheat ale brewed with sweet orange peel
and orange blossom honey. Aged on organic, loose, gunpowder tea leaves from Mem
Tea imports. Bee Tea is our
cross-pollination of two classic beverages – green tea with honey, and the
Belgian-style wheat ale. Strong aromas of orange and honey lead into a flavor
that’s soft, sweet, and sophisticated. A dry, herbal finish comes from aging
the beer on organic loose green tea, sourced from Somerville’s Mem Tea Imports.
Night Shift
brewery in Everett, MA brews some crazy beers and this one is no exception.
Very unique tasting, it is a hazy deep amber in the glass. Subtle grassy,
orange, and honey notes amuse the nose. Medium to full bodied with moderate
carbonation and fluffy tan head. The beer is sweet honey mead up front with
bitter orange peel and a bitter "strong tea" finish. You can really taste the tea in the back end as it washes away
the sticky honey almost like a palate cleanser. As the beer warmed the flavors became more intense. Very
balanced and flavorful it had me thinking of an Indian Summer day in
Vermont. Not my usual style but I
enjoyed it very much.
