Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours a hazy chrome yellow with minimal off-white head but good lacing. The aroma has floral hops with some hints of spice. In the mouth it is sweet with floral hops, lemon, orange and generic citrus. Ginger is there too, but not as much as you would expect from the name. Finish is rather dry. This is quite nice and certainly very refreshing.
