Bottle from Supervalu, Athlone[120216]
Dark amber, hazy, frothy white head
Aroma - Fruity, orange, mango, tropical fruits, sweet, big nose off this
Taste of tropical fruits, bitter hops, some yeast, some creamy caramel in the background, bitter zest, quite moreish (but I wrecked it somewhat by accidentally getting a lot of sediment in)
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, sweet malts, alcohol is a bit noticeable. Finish as main flavour, very bitter zest linger.
Overall - Good punch to this...need to get another bottle and pour it again - I’m sure it’ll score higher without the sediment (did mark it up a bit to compensate)

Bottle thanks to the cgarvieuk tasting. Appearance - dirty honey colour, kind of dark muddy amber. Decent head. Nose - get the ginger alright. Some pumpkin follows, in unison with some biscuit notes from the malts. Taste - more of the same really. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy and crunchy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - for this style of beer, I found this pretty balanced and enjoyable. The sweetness somewhat envelopes the ginger.
