The brewery aimed at creating plenty of hop aroma for this 8% ale and on the first pour there is a lot of creamy yeast with bright grassy herbal tones. Reminds me a bit of Poperings Hommel Ale.
Active golden ale with a thick cream dollop of of a head. In the mouth, an initial dry followed by a wave of hop bitters broken up by strong carbonation and mixing with a pear or golden delicious apple juiciness. The long finish ends with a bite like ginger root. The use of Goldings along with the three Teutons Spalt, Hallertau and Saaz makes for very complex bitterness. You could poach sole in this.
Plenty of BAer love.

I did not get the ginger root part.
