On tap at Tribute in Eagle River. Tasty Wit with plenty of ginger. Alcohol is well hidden. Great summer beer.

On tap at Vintage, 16oz served in a shaker pint 6/20/2014.
A- Slightly hazy orange-yellow body, half finger white head with no retention or lacing. Pretty boring looking, really.
S- Ginger bomb with hints of citrus and biscuits. One-note nose.
F- Also a ton of ginger, complemented by citrus, crackers, spices. But this is a big ginger bomb; if the ginger was dialed back a bit, you could make a case for a gingerbread beer.
M- Thinner bodied, a bit watery, not as well carbonated as I'd like for a wit. Finish is of course ginger, ginger, ginger. Makes it hard to drink more than half of a pint of this stuff.
O- Very ginger-forward wit, unfortunately very one note. I like ginger, but not in doses like this.
