Twisted Tea (USA)

Twisted Tea (USA) 5.0%

Tastes like a really sweet and lemony iced tea; sweeter with more lemon and less tea flavour than Coors Light Iced-T but still very much like iced tea I've had before. Not any beer flavour to speak of and of course this is actually a malt beverage not a beer per se. If you like fountain iced tea give it a try, if you don't like iced tea might as well avoid it.

Coors Light Iced T - MolsonCoors (Canada)

Coors Light Iced T - MolsonCoors (Canada) 4.0%

Lighter than expected but still a deep gold which is darker than Coors Light. A very citrusy flavour with a black tea flavour and malt. It is a little thick on the tongue but still carbonated and fairly refreshing. It really tastes more like iced tea than it tastes like beer but it is obviously still a blend. Provided MolsonCoors used actual citrus juice and tea rather than artificial flavourings I am fine recommending this beer. Coors Light Iced T is refreshing and summery, and not a bad choice at all this summer if you like flavoured beers.

Beer Maven Canada Day Suggestion - Mill Street Brewery

Mill Street Brewery - Lemon Tea Beer (Canada - Ontario) 5.0%

A dark, but orange and gold tinted, brown colour in a glass. The lemon (and it is actual lemon puree) makes the beer taste like a white beer at first until the maltiness of the lager kicks in.
This is a beer that screams summer, it begs to be drunk on a sun drenched patio. The beer is sweetened with sugar cane juice but it doesn't come across overly sweetened probably due to the fact that it is mixed with actual orange pekoe tea which does a delicious job of balancing the sweetness.

Cheers and happy Canada Day!
