Ides 68: English Brown Ale with Earl Grey Tea!

This English Ale was brewed with 3 year aged Pu Erh tea and a blend of freshly zested sweet lime and bitter orange to replicate the bergamot oil.

The taste starts off sweet, with notes of nutty caramel and toasty malts, followed by craisins, tart citrus and earthy tea with a tannic kick to give it its dry finish. 

A Double British hit of brown ale and a cup o' tea!
