2011 keg. Pours with a clear golden body with a small white head. Aromas are straight ginger with little else beyond some lime zest. Ginger seems candied. Flavors of lime, lightly floral, tons of ginger (candied). Very pungent. Seems like a cocktail. Some medium to light acidity. Medium bubbles. Interesting, but very one sided with the ginger.

A: The beer pours a pale golden color with a minimal white head. S: Just a huge ginger aroma to this one. The lime is almost as strong. There are also some different herbal notes such as basil and mint. A mild vanilla and oak note with light lemon zest. T: The flavor is almost all ginger. A decent sweetness of honey with some strong lemon and lime notes coming through as well. There is a mild mint and just a very herbal flavor. It’s only slightly tart. M: The body is medium with low to medium carbonation. O: This beer was sort of strange. It definitely tastes like all the things in the name, which is sort of impressive.
