Aroma - Sweet, fresh apples with notes of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, ginger and raisin.
Experience - Sweet, baked apples followed by a vivid blend of clove and cardamom. Black tea rounds out the flavor and leaves little to no tannin. Medium-bodied with a crisp, red apple skin aftertaste.
The Dude's Rug really Chai'd the room together.

Aromas are chai spices of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove on top of a little apple. Flavors are similar to nose with clove coming out more. Sweet tart with a little bitter. Kind of an interesting idea and not bad but I don't know if I'd get another

Can from 604. Goblet @home. Dirty lemon iced tea pour. Touch of lace. Lots of cinnamon, lots of ginger, tea & honey. Tart, sweet lemon tea clone with dusty cinnamon, candied ginger & very faint vanilla. Dusty, sharp, oily, thin. Not terrible.

Reminds me of this superstition mead they did with cloves and weird winter spices, except this isn't overly sweet, it's mellow chai notes, slight sweet finish, fun stuff.

Bottle shared at home. Almost clear light brown with small off white head. Cinnamon, cloves, swee tdd apple, don't get much tea but it really has some winter spices going on with some chai. Flowery, red apple, more aromatic spices. Medium sweet, under medium tart and very light bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty nice winter cider.

Bottle. Pours a clear, ruby color, with a small, beige head. The nose is ginger, clover honey, vanilla, apricot, and strong cloves. Very sweet and boozy, with a bit of spice. Fun and well made.

Tap. Pours clear dark brown with a small offwhitish head. Aromas of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, sweet apples, light honey-like notes. Taste has the same heavy spices with a more sweet backnote of apples and an almost berry-like flavour. Way too spicy for me.

Tap at Craft Covent Garden. Really tied the room together. Aroma is spicy, chai, cinnamon, fruity, medicinal/herbal. Taste is nice, much less spicy, rich apples, little bit of honey sweetness, some other fruitiness, feels like cherry maybe. Apple fritters!! That's it!! Very nice.

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Hazy amber to copper, small off-white head. Spicy mulled wine aroma, dark tea, dried fruit, zesty, nutmeg. Beneath there's a baked apple aroma, wine-like fruity character. Flavour is spicy apple or wine, warming feeling, cinnamon. Moderate to high carbonation. Interesting.
