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

Batch 3/3/23, 6.1% via Appalachian. Pint glass at home. The drink before the nightcap. Clear, medium gold, faint lace. Lemon oil, sulfur, floral blueberry muffins, hand soap nose; not great so far. Very medicinal. Floral honey, slick, somewhat fake blueberry(can says concentrate), sugary Lemonheads, very little acid, no tartness. Sugary mess without any tart lemonade. Hard pass.
