AleBrowar Tea Dog is a refreshing take on the American Pale Ale, merging classic craft sensibilities with the botanical infusion of Sencha Earl Grey Tea. At a sessionable 4.1% ABV, it presents a bright, citrusy hop profile that harmonizes with the distinctive, perfume-like bergamot notes of the tea. A clean, grainy malt backbone allows the floral and herbal tea characteristics to shine through without being overshadowed. The Sencha green tea adds a subtle grassy depth, while the overall experience remains crisp and highly drinkable, finishing with a lingering, tea-like dryness and a moderate, zesty bitterness that defines its modern profile.
Appearance.Pale golden (approximately 6 SRM) with a moderately large, off-white head showing good retention and light lacing. Generally clear with a slight, vibrant brilliance.
Aroma.Moderately high intensity featuring a bouquet of citrus and floral hops intertwined with fragrant bergamot. Subtle grassy and herbal notes from the Sencha tea are evident, supported by a low, neutral, crackery malt character and clean fermentation.
Taste.Initial impression is crisp and hop-forward with citrus zest and floral tones. The mid-palate introduces botanical complexity from the Earl Grey, offering bergamot and leafy tea flavors. Malt is low and grainy, providing a supportive base for the moderate bitterness. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering herbal and citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. No perceived alcohol warmth. A very subtle, pleasant tea-derived astringency enhances the crispness without becoming harsh.
