This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that quickly dissipated. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell started off with a light ginger sweeping into light citrus tones over some light refreshing floral tones.
The taste was slightly sweet with the ginger combining a nice spice surrounding the flavor of the citrus. Wheat is fairly tame to allow the ginger to be the main flavor all around. There’s no aftertaste with a quick sweet to semi-spiced ginger finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. The ginger is fairly tame on my tongue allowing the citrus and floral aspects add a nice sweet soothing crisp feel.
Overall, I say this was a nice American pale wheat ale with the ginger side being somewhat tame and adding some other nice tones to make a nice session on a late Summer’s day.

A blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet grassy malt with ginger. In mouth, a nice fruity malt with light grassy hops, faint ginger, nice.

Sample at the brewery, 2/7/14
Golden raisin colored body is moderately hazy, with a foamy white head that shows moderate retention, light lacing. Plentiful carbonation.
Brewed with raw ginger and it shows, giving that spicy, invigorating kick to the nose and with enough room for some dry wheat and light honey-dough-like maltiness to peek through. Some dry yeastiness dulls a bit (could be the actual wheat) but otherwise a very ample gingery aroma for an otherwise not spectacularly aromatic style.
Supple, nearly creamy body provides more than enough support to the spicy ginger, which is certainly the main show, though not overdone by any means. The maltiness shows more sweetness than is typical for an American wheat beer, with some light syrupiness that is quite honey-like but actually plays quite well with the ginger. Soft texture, no alcohol, moderate carbonation.

22oz bottle pours a clear gold with some bright, white head. Nose has some crystallized ginger, some malt sweetness, some lemon, some lemon grass, earthy, a little coriander. Flavor is sweet, a little chalky, some mild ginger on the tongue, coriander, some straw, some lemon. Clean finish.
