0.355l can from Beer Republic. Aroma is vinous, funky and floral with apple notes. Pours cloudy pale brown color with thin quickly diminishing tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts tart vinous and cider-like with spicy note, following is mild sweet malty and woody with smooth but crisp mouthfeel. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate.

Aromas are a fragrant blend of spice, apples, with a bit of solvent and something else. This is fairly tart. I've had chais that are mildly sweet to bittersweet to sweet but never tart. Certainly never this tart. It's not bad but I think it kind of fails at the concept. Probably be really good to cook with pork and maybe turkey.
