This is a special release from Siren, which collaborated with the Vermont based Hill Farmstead. This is a light pale ale but with a twist it is dry hopped with Earl Grey tea (which in itself had Bergamot in it), along with Amarillo, Citra and Centennial hops. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A very clear, slightly brown, straw colour. There is a small white head that thins quickly.
Aroma: Lots of hop resin, with a little musk and malt on the back.
Flavour: Fruity hops and herbs on the front, but a little waxy on the back with a note of older herbs.
Body: Light but with a little body to give it a nice consistency. A little flat but better than being overcarbonated.
Aftertaste: The wax notes increases initially, but with drinking it becomes more of a cereal and savoury notes.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, a little unique but there are a few off flavours.
Price Range: Another from the box of 10 for £14, so £1.40 for a 330ml bottle; not a bad price and I would probably get it again if I saw if for that price and there was a more limited selection.
Food Pairings: A nice beef burger with lots of pickles or relish, the vinegar note of the pickles would go with the unusual savoury notes.
