Perennial Artisan Ales - "Hopfentea" weissbier

Here's a quick look at an interesting creation from Perennial Artisan Ales, recommended by former colleague Matt G. It's a 4.2% ABV Berliner weissbier that's blended with tropical tea. I've had some beers infused with tea before, most recently the "Sweet Summer South" in the 2016 Sierra Nevada Beer Camp box. I'm curious to try this one.

It's got a cloudy orange-pink color, with a nose of sour fruit. When poured, it generates a thin white head that dies down quickly. Taste-wise, this beer was lighter than I expected - it was sour and tangy with a balanced fruit taste followed by a strong and enjoyable wheat beer taste. There's some acidic / drying flavors to it, especially on the aftertaste. Not bad - true to the genre, flavorful, and refreshing. In my opinion, too expensive though - it cost $15.99 for a 750mL. Would like to see this in 12oz bottles or growler fill - at a lower price point.
