Central Coast Chai Cream Ale

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Ran across this one at my local "organic co-op store" Pours a nice rich golden color with a short live head. Rather spicy in character, somewhat similar to some spiced wheat beers. Mouth feel is truly creamy, with a tender bitterness to offset the creamy texture. All in all an interesting find.

2008 Central Coast Chai Cream Ale 2.4 cheapdark A very big thanks goes out to cquiroga for this big bomber from californ-eye-aye. Large bottle that bursts with a lava like opening cerimony. Smells quite like yeast. Has an almost hefe olfactory. Beautiful rolling carbonation in the glass. Quite bitter impressions for a blonde. Big rocky alabaster head. Never stops foaming in my big mug. Enjoyable fizz on the palate. Taste is like many east end brews I’ve had, must use the same yeast. Malty bitter bite continues to grow on the back and top of my mouth. Hazy like an orangish hefe in appearance. The personality of this brew is somewhat reminiscent of unrefined belgie dubbels I’ve encountered. Strongish in the alky taste department. On the finish, it is quite interesting. Getting a buzz near the end of the session.
