What the brewers say
“Ginger Sour. Botanicals & barrels barrel-aged sour ale with ginger. Verdant fresh ginger is artfully rooted in radiant tartness, peaking in the unmistakable burst and bite of this bright barrel-aged sour ale.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Pumpkin pie–like aroma up front with moderate ginger, nutmeg, and light cinnamon. There’s mild lemon and lemongrass that adds a sweet candy undertone with a bit of Pilsner malt.”
Flavor: “Lactic lemon hits up front with a nice acidity. Freshly grated ginger paired up with lemon zest: very Asian. Ginger persists from the initial sip to the long finish. The ginger is a little warm, but it’s still pleasant.”
Overall: “Wow! Quite tasty. Thanks to the bright ginger, the beer tastes fresh and bold. It has notes of the ginger itself along with the ginger spice. This combination goes well with the lactic tartness and lemon notes. The base beer is bright and tightly defined, providing a beautiful frame for the well-considered ginger spice.”
