16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG.
This beer appears a glassy, medium bronzed amber colour, with one finger of foamy and loosely bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent disintegrating limestone cliff lace around the glass as things evenly recede.
It smells of ginger root and raw onion, minced and not yet cooked, bready caramel malt, and prominent leafy, grassy, and citrusy hops. The taste is fresh ginger, somewhat metallic in its bearing, more subtle cold onion, a strong grainy caramel malt backbone, a bit of hard water flintiness, and pleasantly discernible citrusy, piney hops.
The carbonation is fairly understated in its tame frothiness, the body a sturdy medium weight, and so-so smooth, the ginger and onion still doin' their thing. It finishes sweet, the caramel and toffee notes starting to figure out how to create a dam of sorts.
A whole lot better of an experience than it was for the base brew (which I tried multiple times). Maybe the ginger obfuscates the inherent onion character of the hops, or something, but this one more or less works, I am happy to finally say.
