Perfeclty clear, lightly orange and peach tinted body with a beautiful glow, and a smooth, relatively small, single centimetre tall pure white head on top that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of pure tart and soured notes with the limes and citrus really showing through with a good dash of salt and brine as well as some softer sweetness from fruits, but of course the taste lingering near the end is the deep ginger that isn't freshly ground, but showing more of a 'plain', Canada Dry type note. Light-bodied; Strong soured flavour with a lot of tart fruits, having the limes and lemons being the strongest along with a light grassy and herbal flavour and a pungent dose of the ginger near the end - quite nice. Aftertaste is robust, full-of-flavour and most importantly, super easy-drinking with a lot of wheat and fresh yeast towards the end, but the citrus and especially the ginger remaining hitting hard, in a great way, with the flavour ranging from citrus juice to a soda - very nice and oddly, not 'typically beer-y'. Overall, a surprisingly refreshing and enjoyable beer that is quite light, but showing a ton of flavours and soured/tart notes in a great way. Overall, a nice beer to have, especially if you like either citrus notes or any form of ginger, but if you like both, this is a no-brainer for you to try to find, as you would probably like it that much! I sampled this stubby, twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia on 03-April-2020 for US$1,79 sampled at home in Washington, a few blocks away, on 13-April-2020.
