Poured from bottle thanks Willrunforbeer hazy lemon with a thin off white head. Aromas of ginger honey citrus. Taste is ginger but it’s not overpowering well balanced.

Thanks for the 12 oz. bottle share Willrunforbeer! Slightly halt golden color, thin head on top. Aroma is pure ginger root, nothing more.
Flavor is mostly earthy ginger. Malt light traces of malt. Medium body, normal carbonation level. It reminds me more of a ginger beer. Decent.

12 oz. bottle sent for review. Heay wheat color out of the glass, with a bit of a rose blush. Fizzy head, does not kick up as high as most wheat beers, no doubt kept down by some of its additions. Unlike their licorice porter, I do go for ginger, and this has fresh ginger overriding everything else in the nose. Ginger is up there in the taste, too, but some malts are standing behind the spice. I also get some backup from the key lime. In fact, the citrus and ginger come closer as I go through the glass, to kind of take over the experience. A little yeast settlement at the bottom of the bottle that you can take or leave. Maybe ginger beers aren’t your thing, but think of it as a break from all that pumpkin spice.
