Had on tap at the Boston beer garden.
Pours murky, tan in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is big chai, lemon and pale malt. Slightly bitter, moderate carbonation, medium high carbonation. Nice chai Taste that is not as strong as straight chai.

Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, tan head of foam. It smelled like chai tea with hints of beer. Tasted spiced like a chai tea. I dunno. It was weird.

Draft offering appears a clear copper color with a white head that fades leaving a full wall of lace.
This smells like chai tea spice mixed with caramel. For those not familiar with chai its like a hybrid of milkiness meets nutmeg and cinnamon - kinda, but not really.
The taste has that familiar nutmeg and cinnamon spice overlaying caramel and vanilla. Chai really leads the way with a sweet malt backing contrasted by an herbal bitter backend but its not too bitter as to detail the chai aspect.
This is light in body with modest carbonation. Hats off, this is one very interesting brew. The chia hits ya over the head and is unmistakeable but im not sold on an IPA base being the best way to deliver these flavors. Regardless it kinda worked and im glad I tried it.
