Light copper and golden honey coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of pure limes, ginger root, powdered ginger and a little dose of pure caster sugar - very pungent smelling and not really like a beer that i’ve ever had - just like a ’moscow mule. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong lime, grass and especially ginger and spice flavours show up front and centre with a touch of sweetness near the end and some just cut ginger root along with some vinegar. Aftertaste shows some mellow malt, a touch of yeast and a heavy bit of ginger and limes with a noticeable sweetness near the end. Overall, a decent beer that shows a lot of a ’moscow mule’ character, that was exactly what was expected, but didn’t work out so well compared to beers in general, but decent for a herb/spice, which is exactly what this should be categorised as. Still worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Meijer in Woodhaven, Michigan on 08-December-2016 for US$16,99/twelve pack, sampled at home in Washington on 20-April-2017.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 7/6/2016. Pours hazy golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big ginger, lime, wheat, cracker, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of lime/ginger and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big ginger, lime, wheat, cracker, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal bitter/spicy and lime tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of ginger, lime, wheat, cracker, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice robustness and balance of lime/ginger and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, and lightly grainy/sticky/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Light ginger heat builds through the glass. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.4%. Overall this is a very nice fruit/spiced blonde ale. All around nice robustness and balance of lime/ginger and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
