Decidedly not retired since I found it on tap at the brewery today. The aroma is big ginger overpowering all else. Has a carbonated cloudy yellow body. Flavour is big fresh ginger with hops on the back end. Mouthfeel is full enough, good crispness. This is nice but very, very gingery.

Draught at the brewery
Moderate but clear ginger aroma and flavor; the hot kick in the final is nice, but in general I don’t think that beer and finger is a match.
Overall, a nice beer anyway.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out quite a lot of ginger - can't tell there's an IPA underneath. Flavour is very spicy, with loads of ginger, and maybe a slight detection of hops underneath, but that might be confirmation bias. Well-crafted for what it is. Decent spiced ginger ale.
