Clear golden pour. No head.
Very earthy aroma, loads of ginger and dirt. Slight sweetness, more ginger.
Medium mouth feel, low carb. Quite a bit of heat from the ginger warming finish. More earthiness, with a tinge of sweet honey.

Single bottle from the LCBO with a cork and cage. Ceramic bottle painted black. Mildly cloudy golden colour with no head, no lacing. Pear nose at first, but the ginger comes through. Then, some big lemon sourness with other citrus. The sourness is quite strong in the taste, appearing to be like what I remember Trafalgar beers to be - gone bad (infected). Very, very sour, but thankfully the ginger is present. And loads of lemon and citrus. Not really what I expected, as not sweet... where is the honey ??

Bottle - Ginger, honey and alcohol. Clear gold. Ginger bite and lots of alcohol. More like sake than a mead. Drain pour among 6 people who couldn’t finish it.
