Eyedrinkale (3104), Beer Town, New York, USA May 14, 2008 Bottle, thanks to Puzzl. Aroma has some bubblegum and lemon. Great looking beer with tons of lacing. Flavor is similar to Schneiders Hopfen Weiss. Peppery without much ginger. Decent wheat beer though.
Grovlam (3086), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 1, 2008 Bottle. [Drikkeriget Grand Shorts Imperial Series tasting, thanks to Jeppe for another great session] The first thing I thought of was Sushi. Would have loved to try this beer with some nice Sushi, thought that would have been the perfect combination. Have tried a lot of different beers with ginger in, but this was perfectly balanced I thought. Large off-white bubbly head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Clear copper like color. Aroma of crisp ginger and the rye could be felt as well in combination with the yeasty notes. Also some spicy notes, what could be coriander like. Mild fruity and hint of orange peel bitterness. Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation and dry texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor in balance. Lingering ginger dry and mild hoppy finish. lassem (109), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 10, 2008 Pours a moisty light brown body with a calm white head. The nose is yeasts, grains, peaches with a bit sourness.
The taste is hoppy with a sour bitternss and I taste peaches, rice and light preserved ginger... wich actually makes me think of sushi. Rather carboneted. The palate is a bit waterish TURDFERGUSON (1134), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Aug 5, 2008 Bottle shared by eclectic at BCTC. Thanks Kevin! Pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Nose is ginger, hops, pine, rye, citrus. Flavor is ginger, hops, rye. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Pretty good beer though. incutrav (505), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Jul 14, 2008 Another unique brew from Shorts. Didnt get a lot of ginger in this, but im not entirely sure I know what ginger tastes like? The rye comes threw though, and works with the weizen base. Fairly spicey afterburn; from the ginger perhaps? Tasty stuff. pnista (888), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jun 13, 2008 Thanks for sharing Yaniv! Pours a bright orangy yellow with a big white head. Big ginger and astringency in the nose. Fruity with light vinegar and not a ton of character. Big creamy mouth, slightly viscous. Big creamy gingery astringency. A bit of spice, a bit of fruit. Lingering toast and spice. Maybe the spice has some rye? I don’t know, I cannot taste rye precisely here.
