On tap at a beer dinner event, reviewed from notes, 300 ml pour.

Appearance - a little cloudy, golden color. Foamy head of a half inch that fell to a ring around the edges.

Smell - strong ginger, citrus (orange), spicy (pepper, coriander). Faintly herbaceous and earthy from the ginger.

Taste - the ginger comes on mild at the start, but ends packing a punch! The ginger intensity builds, yet the citrus and spice flavors are not completely overwhelmed. It is a very fresh, earthy ginger flavor. Has a little taste that reminds me this ingredient comes from the ground - almost "dirt like" in a good way. More subtle flavors ome in to play - pear and apple notes, a hint of banana, and spicy notes of coriander and peppercorns.

Mouthfeel - Light in body, a little creamy, highly carbonated and crisp. Lively, refreshing beer. The ginger does linger for quite a while.

Overall, I enjoyed this beer. It paired perfectly with the accompaniment of plantains with pickled ginger relish and coconut broth. As much as I enjoyed the beer and the ginger flavor I think it is a "small dose" beer. Not sure a larger serving would be enjoyable by the end. Almost like the intent was to be a small glass served with an appetizer. Definitely a big brother of the base witbier. It shows what can be accomplished with judicious use of ingredients.
