On tap at GABS festival, May 2014.
Pours a golden colour - why was I expecting red?? Slightly cloudy with decent cream-coloured head. Not bad.
Smells quite sweet with a huge honey note. Matched blow for blow with a cinnamon kind of character giving sweet spice. Basically smells like chai, but a nice, natural chai character.
Taste is sweet but a little dryer than the sweet aroma predicted. Vanilla character with lots of sweet spice notes - cinnamon, clove, not overwhelming, has a kind of pie spice character to it this time. Does put one in mind of the Australian bush. Pleasant.
Decent body, goes down pretty nicely. Doesn't fill up the mouth but then it shouldn't, really.
Not bad, nice spicy tea-tinged brew.

Tried on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne. A Rye Ale infused with rooibos tea.
Pours a very pale orange colour with a solid body. Hazing is firm throughout although some carbonation is still visible. Head is just off-white leaving a firm ring around the glass. Looks pretty decent.
Very strong tea characters on the nose, with a big tannin note right off the bat. Slight spice comes through as well, along with some peach and apricot stonefruit notes and a slight hint of wood smoke. It's all pretty nice.
Light entry on the palate that quickly gets a peppery, tannic dose from the tea. This is sharp towards the back, but there's enough malt to smooth through to the finish. Here we get more of the tea: spicy and earthy. It's really nice all up. Feel is mid-weighted, which is quite pleasant.
Overall, this was a pretty damn good beer. The tea was strong, but it gave the beer its character and style. And it ended up being extremely drinkable. I enjoyed it a lot.
