500mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a tiny head. Aroma brings out lots of spiced chai tea and light sweetness. Flavour is rather artificial tasting, with artificial sweetness and spiced chai tea. Nothing elegant about this - really artificial. This could be done well, but this isn't it.

Bottle - Cinnamon, clove, cardamom and tons of other spice. Clear copper with no head. Sweet and lots of spice. Cols, apple and chai. Too much spice.

Strange color, like a Madeira. Strong chai aroma. Dry mouthfeel, mild acidity, moderate spice flavor, it has traces of cider actually. But you can do this with just apple juice and carbonated water, there is no cider art here.

Bottle. Pours a clear earthy amber with a near white head that dissipates and completely. Aroma has lots of spice and chai with a sweet apple backbone. Flavor is much more of a spiced apple note with underlying chai and sweetness.

Bottle (courtesy of BiiruBierBeer) pours with a crystal clear amber body that exhibits thin legs. The aroma offers up big apple sweet notes and a wide load of cinnamon and then more apple at the end of the draw. The taste delivers apple sweetened smooth cinnamon spiciness and then plenty of more apply sweet goodness midway and into the finish.
