Tap to rate

Ginger spice runs from first sip to last, riding on a malt sweetness in a light-bodied pale ale. Employee owners press the organic ginger by hand in the brewhouse, and CTZ, US Goldings and Sterling hops join 2-Row, Crystal, Munich and flaked barley at 4.5 % ABV and 20 IBU. A golden spring release, April to July.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced organic ginger spice, warming and peppery without harshness. Beneath lies a soft Malz foundation of 2-Row and Munich grain, contributing a gentle sweetness. The CTZ, US Goldings, and Sterling hops contribute subtle herbal and slightly floral notes that round out the aromatic profile without overshadowing the ginger character.

At 20 IBU, bitterness remains restrained and gentle, allowing the spice and malt to play as co-leads.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
