Clear golden coloured body with a faint pale straw glow, and a decent, three centimetre tall pure white microbubbled head. Aroma of citrus, ginger, lemongrass, earth and a faint medicinal, spicey smell - nice and aromatic. Light-bodied; Sharp ginger flavour at first with a lot of other spice notes and some earthy, dry grass flavours as well. Aftertaste shows the ginger and a lot of lemongrass and herbs - mostly a spice kick than anything else, but almost in a good way, given that it’s so light. Overall, a nice, very flavourful, pungent spicey beer that still finishes easy and isn’t cloying. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from West LakeView Liqours in Chicago, Illinois on 14-November-2015 for US$6,95 sampled at home in Washington on 17-April-2016 on a day when Chicago [Blackhawks] lost but Detroit [Red Wings] won - a great day to drink a beer from Chicago.
