Pours with a small, foamy, off-white head and a hazy golden orange body with good lace left behind by the head. Aroma of orange, citrus and a decent amount of alcohol. Taste is brown sugar, orange hops, apricots and light alcohol. Lively carbonation and a water like mouthfeel.

Orangey-amber with a slight haze. A fair amount of ginger, maybe coriander on the nose. Very gingery. Kind of thin. Hints of coriander. Decent. It’s light but refreshing. Of course, it helps to like ginger.
