An eye-opening amber ale with mint and ginger. It starts with mint, which is complemented by the oriental freshness of ginger and the soft bitterness of Goldings hops. On the tongue lightly caramelized malts join in with juicy notes of sugarcane that help to smooth out the spiciness of ginger. In the end ginger is not the only one that warms.

Pours a cloudy, deep, reddish amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of doughy, caramel malt and ginger, with hints of red berries and mint as well. Taste is a great balance of doughy, caramel malt and bitter, herbal, slightly spicy and fruity hops, with light notes of red berries and citrus, as well as strong notes of ginger and mint. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some ginger and mint lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
I've had quite a few beers from this brewery now and enjoyed them all thoroughly for their uniqueness and balance. While this one is probably not going to be for everyone, I enjoyed this very much as well, but I am a big fan of herbal beers. While the ginger and mint play the lead role here, there are still hints of the malts and hops poking through, without the herbal additions feeling overdone. The caramel malt sweetness provides a good counterpoint to the ginger spiciness, while the herbal, spicy hops fit right in here.
