Chai IPA
One of the keys to the success of Jaipur is balance; we have strived for this while using a kaleidoscopic menagerie of flavourful additions, complementing the original IPA with cinnamon, ginger, clove, black pepper, cardamom and a delicate touch of oolong tea to round it out. These carefully selected spices each work to play with the grapefruit and pine already present from the hops, for a complex and truly rewarding drinking experience.

Can. Thornbridge subscription box. Clear gold. Good messy white foam. Nose has cardamom and cinnamon. Big egg custard vibe. Tea leaf. Bit of a weedy hop thing. Taste is pretty sweet with a medicinal bitterness. Mouthfeel is soapy and a little heavy. Lingering bitterness to finish. I mean it smells like you’d expect it to, but it’s slick and soapy and the bitterness clashes horribly with the spicy character.

Only canned 6 days ago so quite fresh. I'll leave the 2nd a can few weeks. Rocky white head on slowly carbonating clear golden coloured body. Tea, herbal & sweet confectionery aroma. Medium bodied smooth on the tongue with a sharp back. Tea, cardamom, clove & peppery tastes with a fruity lightly hopped backbone. Very heavy in tea tastes but this may mellow. Not everyone's cup of tea (🙄🙄) but I like the Chai beers & this is good.
