Tap @ Hamilton’s on 4/18/08. Shared with Bikesandbeer, WeeObese, Darkelf, and my girlfriend Cyn. Pours copper with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is big and hoppy with some serious ginger. Taste is sweet and hoppy with lots of ginger, really really nice beer. I like ginger and it makes big eye into a whole different kind of fish (er beer).

On cask at Pizza Port real ale festival. Thank God I was able to get the very last pour of this, it’s just to bad my foam was like half the glass and I had to kill time to let it retreat some. Anyways, I loved this big eye with ginger since I’m already an avid lover of the big eye by itself. Add some ginger let alone double ginger and you can immediately sniff out this additional spice in the mix. The flavor was a lot of bread, wheat, grapefruit and of course ginger. Interesting ale and I would like to see this available for a growler fill.

Tasted at the real ale fest. Clear copper with a fizzy white head. Citrus hops and mild ginger aroma. Bitter citrus and mild pine taste with ginger notes.
