Tbd Intense Green Tea Lemonade

Intense Green Tea Lemonade is a Massachusetts-made beverage from the United States, listed in the beer category and named for its two flavor anchors: green tea and lemon. No ABV, IBU or ingredient list is given for it, so the notes below describe what drinks in this style usually do rather than a measured profile. Expect a bright, citrus-led drink with the lemon up front and a dry, slightly grassy tea character behind it. The "intense" in the name suggests the tea comes through with some real tannic grip rather than as a faint background note. Drinks like this tend to be light-bodied and low in hop bitterness, with the pucker of the lemon doing the work a hop edge would do in a conventional beer. Serve it well chilled, roughly 38 to 42°F, so the acidity stays crisp and the tea notes don't turn flat or sweet as it warms. A tall pint glass or a highball with ice and a lemon wheel suits it better than a beer tulip, since there's no heavy aroma to concentrate. It pairs naturally with food that likes a squeeze of lemon: grilled chicken, shrimp, sushi, fresh salads with vinaigrette, or fried foods like fish and chips, where the acidity cuts through the oil.
