Twisted Tea:
Hello all! So as a man of my word, I start these next 8 days enjoying what the tall boy section of your local convenience store has to offer. I decided to sample to entry level to a brew that I’ve already had this month, Twisted Tea. I remember hearing the pitch for this brew a few years back and seems to show up in these parts around the same time every year. I’ll admit, I was always curious, but never had a strong enough curiosity to substitute it for a good summer beer. So now that I have the excuse to try this, I’m taking it. The pour is good though no carbonation, no head to describe so we’ll skip that detail. The nose is one of tea and grain alcohol which is interesting since this brew only sports 5% ABV. The taste is one that makes e think of growing up and my parents keeping Nestlé Ice Tea (w/ Lemon) in the can in a little fridge in our laundry room. The tea was sort of sweet with a overly strong lemon and canned taste that some how has stuck with me all these years and drinking this reminds me of that though the under current of booze is there and noticeable. Not quiet as good as the half and half from earlier this month, but still good, just not my cup of tea. HA!
