650ml bottle - 'Fresh | Fragrant | Frisky', oh my! Made with orange peel, coriander, and ginger.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few examples of waves crashing on seashore rocks pattern lace around the glass as it quickly subsides.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, some musty Belgian yeastiness, ethereal domestic citrus rind, some muddled earthy spiciness, and very, very tame leafy, floral, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and bready pale malt, lightly phenolic yeast, wet Wheat Thins, way too subtle mixed spicy notes (I still can't really identify any veritable ginger, except for a gently growing generic heat), and more perfunctory earthy, musky, and floral old-school hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, but for a minor pithiness evolving as things warm up a bit around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fading yeast kind of meekly seeing us out the side door.
Overall - if it didn't have it right there in the name, I wouldn't have suspected that any sort of ginger was used in the production of this offering, not to mention the equally absent orange peel and coriander 'other' ingredients. All of which points to a failure to get the basic style points down, and so, yeah, take it from me, this one should have been a pass.
