650ml bottle - wow - THREE kinds of ginger added to this one - should I be a little bit scared?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium orange-brick amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy tan head, which leaves but a low-lying and surface-hugging berm of lace around the glass as it rashly abates.
It smells of earthy fresh ginger, bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser spicy rye graininess, hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, and very subtle leafy and weedy hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, some hard to pin down rye differential, a much reduced generic ginger thing, now muddled adjunct savoury spices, a touch of musty yeastiness, and more tame leafy, weedy, and dead grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its workaday frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a bit of indistinct spiciness (could be the ginger, could be the rye) mucking about here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed maltiness holding strong, with the ginger having completed its early withdrawal.
Overall, the promise of this offering was barely delivered upon, and by that I mean the ginger! In the end, we just get a mildly 'spiced' amber ale, with ethereal rye undertones, and a lingering feeling that there should have been much more to experience here.
