Chai is subtle, base beer is still present and balances out the spices nicely. Light fruit, hints of lemon. Well balanced, a nice quaff, but wouldn’t see myself having more than one.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy medium amber under a short lived two finger white head. Nose is orange peel, cardamom with the cinnamon and clove in the background. Some light sweet honey and toffee with a a mildly spicy and floral middle and a touch of grassy bitterness in the finish. Mouth is slightly thin with active carbonation. 7/3+/6+/3/14

Pours a golden colour with a foamy off-white head, average stay and minimal lacing. Chai tea smelling at first with the spices of cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Then, the caramel malt base shows up after the spices calm down. Nutty notes and hints of cream as well. The taste has less of the tea with the light spices blended in the bready malts and hops in the finish. The hops actually help off the drinkability and a nice spiced beer overall.
