Another beer from Left Hand, this time a spice beer. There are not many spice beers on the market, this on is even referenced in the BJCP as an example of a spice beer.
There is a pronounced ginger aroma, like bag of crystallized ginger. The color is a gold of dark yellow, and quite clear. There is no head to the beer, I guess ginger does not improve head retention.
The ginger flavor is surprisingly light just a hint of ginger is a basic beer. There is a little sweetness, with a light malt flavor, overall a very simple beer. No flavors over power this beer, and ginger is the main flavor. The mouthfeel is light and thin. The finish is clean with a hint of ginger.
This is really a basic beer with a dash of ginger. Without the ginger there would be nothing to this beer. This would make a great lawn mower beer.
