We take our year-round production Big Eye IPA and infuse fresh skinned, sliced ginger root into the beer post fermentation. The spicy Centennial hops used in Big Eye go very well with the spicy taste and aromatics from the fresh ginger root. The solid malt backbone of Big Eye also lends itself well to ginger, almost adding a candied component as it blends across your palate.

Draught at Tadg’s. Shiny orange-amber with lace. Big citrus hop nose, spicy but not overtly ginger, until it warms a bit. Nice fruit, slightly tropical. Sweet malt flavor with more ginger, nice hops. Good balance and nice bitterness. Nice body, rich but a bit fizzy. Good stuff.

Draft. Deep amber-red beer with anoff-white head. Citrus hop aroma with some sweet malt backing. Citrus and a little pine hop flavor with malty sweetness. Finish is too clean and hops don’t linger much on the aftertaste. Ginger in background.

On tap at the Ballast Point brewer’s night at the Daily Pint. Pours with a clear bronze body and a huge off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, pine, candied ginger, and herbal. Taste is spicy, hoppy and caramel. Very interesting. Dry and spicy mouthfeel. Good beer.
