NOTES: This is a traditional ale brewed in a 100 year old kettle on a wood fire with fresh organic ginger added to the brew.
Bought and consumed in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. The beer is a dark hazy reddish-orange, almost amber. Head was off-white and 1 finger or so with poor retention.
Smell is heavy on the ginger - spicy and slightly earthy with a slight balancing sweetness, as if this were an alcoholic ginger beer.
Taste is less ginger-forward, which was slightly disappointing, but probably for the better. Instead we get a flavor that is not unlike a sort of APA, mildly hoppy, slightly floral, with a backbone of bread malt and a touch of yeast. A bit of fruity sweetness runs though the beer, and flashes of ginger come through, but not super strong. Finishes slightly spicy and earthy, perhaps the most ginger-forward aspect of the beer.
Feel was slightly flat and watery and is not a strong point of the beer.
Overall a very unique brew that really highlights some of the quirks and strengths of the Costa Rican craft beer scene. I wished this would be a bit more ginger-forward actually, as it was in the aroma. But it is one that I will for sure pick up again while I am here. I can see this pairing well with some local Costa Rican fare.
