Mill Street Lemon Tea Beer


Summer is here, which means cold cold cold beer should be near.  The new fave heat wave suds of mine to slake my thirst on a hot day is the Mill St. Brewery Lemon Tea beer.
I plan on doing a lot of sitting out on the balcony on hot summer days (and nights) long enough to get a good dose of swamp butt, and it's nice to have a refreshing summery beer that also satisfies the beer nerd in me.
Unusually, Orange Pekoe and Earl Grey teas are blended with real lemon puree and organic cane sugar to the Mill St. ale.  The resulting amber ale is not too sweet, not too fruity, and just hoppy enough in the finish.

Definitely a better option than those proliferate beers with lime and such.  
Too bad I haven't seen it on tap yet, and also too bad that it only comes in pint cans.  You can't beat a bottle.
