Pours a five+ finger white head that slowly fades leaving a good lace. Hazy light amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Fruity nose and flavor is citrusy not finding ginger & pine needles, light sweetness. Pricey at $4.95 for a 330ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Medium hazy maze color, with a healthy white head.

Bottle to snifter. not sure of the age of this beaut, but I see it is retired here on BA, so age may account for some of its un-pleasantries.

Light to medium body. Average carbonation.

The ginger and the pine are subdued. Mostly I get citrus and rice in the aroma and rice/barley in the taste. There is a little numbing bite at the finish which may be attributed to the ginger, but it is not positive; almost medicinal.

Not huge on IPAs but the ginger balances out the hoppiness in a really pleasant way. Will definitely drink again.
