Shandong Chaoli Beer Co., Ltd. Chaoliban 潮刀版 Nuo Xiang Pu Er
This Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer offers a complex East Asian sensory profile, artfully blending the earthy depths of Pu'er tea with the aromatic sweetness of sticky rice. The experience is headlined by forest floor, aged wood, and leather notes from the tea, which are softened by the distinctive 'nuo xiang' character of the sticky rice, contributing a nutty, popcorn-like fragrance. A clean malt backbone supports these bold additions without interference. The result is a harmonious fusion where the tea’s natural tannins provide structure against the silky, cereal-forward roundness of the rice, finishing with a refined, herbal dryness.
Appearance. Medium gold to deep amber with a subtle reddish hue. Clear to slightly hazy with a fine-textured, off-white head that exhibits moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring damp earth, dried leaves, and woody Pu'er tea notes. This is balanced by a sweet, starchy, and slightly floral 'nuo xiang' rice aroma. Hop character is negligible, and fermentation is clean with no significant esters.
Taste. Initial earthy and woody tea flavors lead into a mid-palate of sweet, toasted grain and creamy sticky rice. Hop bitterness is low, but the tea contributes a mild, pleasant herbal bitterness. The finish is off-dry and clean, with a lingering aftertaste of aged tea and puffed rice.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable silkiness and slightly creamy texture attributed to the rice. Moderate carbonation and a very faint, tea-derived tannic astringency that enhances drinkability. Minimal alcohol warmth.
