Lemon Iced Tea

Tap to rate

A light yet full pale ale built on green tea, whole fresh lemons and plenty of juicy Citra hops, with Polaris alongside, Pilsner, Wheat and Carapils malts and lactose in the brew. Raven pitches it as its contribution to the noble art of afternoon drinking, the kind of beer after which you sometimes notice that it is already five in the morning. Brewed at 10° Plato.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
