From a 750mL Bottle. Mostly hazy, golden orange colored body with a tall layer of fizzy off-white head. Aromas of light rye spice, ginger, and lemon zest. Some doughy rye malt and mild banana are also present. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel with a creamy texture. Doughy, bready rye malt flavors with a hint of spice. Less ginger in the flavor than the aroma, leaving behind a one-dimensional malt character that comes across a little bland and simple by comparison. A pleasant level of herbal hop bitterness adds some nice dryness to the finish.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with a huge and creamy off white head. Fruity aroma of spices, hops and grass. Fruity flavour of hops, grass and ginger. Hoppy and spicy finish.

Shorts smagning med klubben. Uklar orange med et lille råhvidt skum. Denne har masser af kulsyre. Der er ingefær, orangeskal, citrus og noget gær. Også peber. Vi kalder det aftenens Sushi øl.

Shorts tasting with The Club +a few. Pours a slightly hazy amber with an off-white head and lacings. Smells of ginger. Sweet with aromas of Belgian yeast, ginger and Wit. Tiny hint of vegetables.High carbonation. Medium bodied. Dry finish with more Wit and ginger. Could easily have more ginger IMHO.
