Dark 375ml bottle from the Botanist AVL fridge. Chivas glass @home. A couple bucks more than several of their half size bottles for some reason. Pale, faintly half still. I get more menthol than ginger on the nose initially. Clay, yeast, cream soda, lime. Actual ginger zest as it warms. Very soapy, Canada Dry level ginger strength & sweetness. I get some second half acidity I'm assuming is from the mangos, but nothing obvious. Slight apple cider vinegar. A bitter & slightly herbal apple & ginger finish. Very mellow & floppy. Low, ticklish carbonation, yeast slurry, feels stronger than the 6.9% list. Forgettable.
