Leo's Early Breakfast

Tap to rate

An IPA brewed with guava and Earl Grey tea, and both additions are easy to pick out. The guava is soft and slightly floral, the bergamot in the tea sharper and more perfumed, and together they sit over a citrus-forward hop base. Tea tannin gives the middle a drying grip the fruit alone would not provide. The malt is pale and quiet, and the close is dry, floral and lightly astringent.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes from the hop selection, quickly joined by the distinctive bergamot character of Earl Grey tea—sharp and distinctly perfumed. Beneath these top notes lies a soft, slightly floral guava presence that adds roundness without dominating, while pale malz remains restrained in the background.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with crisp citrus and hoppy bitterness, building into a drying middle where tea tannins grip the mouth with an astringent grip that the fruit alone would not provide. The finish is dry and floral, with a lingering herbal spice and moderate bitterness that holds without aggression, while malz remains pale and unobtrusive throughout.

◑ Finish

The close is brisk and clean, marked by floral and faintly astringent notes that fade gradually over several seconds. No lingering sweetness remains—only a crisp, drying sensation that invites another sip.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
