3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask. Lively beer, lively aromas. Heavy thyme and, although I like the herb and cook with it often, I couldn’t quite get used to it here. It isn’t vegetal at all, but thyme makes the APA savory and gives it an unexpected dimension. This is a good thing in as much as it makes the beer interesting, and the hops are a pleasant companion (adding lemon, mowed grass, touch of soap). On the other side, it really narrows the focus of the beer and makes it tougher to pair with certain foods. If you’re sampling lots of the fare at Birreria, treat the Gina as a before-meal beer or pair with charcuterie. It will overpower some of their delicate dishes.
