20oz pint at the Underground in YEGDT.

This beer pours a hazy pale golden amber, with one fat finger of frothy, bubbly ecru head, which leaves some pleasant layered storm cloud lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.

It smells of mild earthy ginger root, bready, crackery pale and caramel malt, zippy citrus, leafy, and piney hops, and a touch of sour herbal notes. The taste leads with musty ginger, followed by a gritty bready malt, lemon pledge, piney, herbal hops, slightly metallic alcohol, and faint seasonal spice.

The bubbles are slightly astringent in their fizziness, and somewhat frothy after a spell, while the generic smoothness is messed with by a malingering ginger and hops heat; a subtle hint of creaminess besets all. It finishes off-dry, the grainy, gingery, and muffled hops carrying us out.

Overall, a decent hopped up (fresh?) ginger infused ale, the elevated ABV mostly well obfuscated, a kind of blend between a harvest ale and spiced holiday offering.
