Traditionally brewed with barley, hops, yeast and water. Only this special beer has over 30KG of fresh root ginger added! Most of the ginger is pitched in to the boil between the bittering and the late hops, this gives an excellent extract without losing too much up the chimney. The rest is added to the fermentation vessel so the yeast attenuation can get to work on it. This beer is cold filtered for bottles only.

Bottle ordered from Tick Beer. Aroma manages to combine ginger and a buttery streak. Clear amber. Frothy white head soon thins out. Light-medium bitter. Ginger and malts. Not a match made in heaven. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Someone carelessly dumped a load of ginger in a basic golden ale concoction. Just not a particularly pleasant drink.

Bottle from Tick Beer. Appearance - golden orange with a creamy off-white head. Nose - brown bread, caramel and sharp ginger note. Taste - ginger a bit more mellow, still bready and sweet caramel. Palate - light to medium bodied, creamy sweet middle and finish despite the added spice. Overall - so so.

Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre-Christmas / post-Pigs Ear holiday tasting of 2015 - London. Cheers! Pours clear gold with a white cream topping. The nose holds grassy ginger spices and dry, pale bread. Light sweet flavor with notes of lime peel, bitter grass, ginger, hay, grain. Light in body with average carbonation. Dry finish with some citrus rind, moderate ginger spice, pale bread. Just OK.
