Pours light gold with a slight haze. Aroma does carry rosemary and ginger but also some thyme and savory. Sweet and syruppy. Apple pie, cream/butter fat. I just don’t know whether it works. It’s slightly better than the cranberry maple beer, but that didn’t do it for me either. It’s very trying.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow-brown with no head at all. Aroma of ginger, rosemary and other spices. The ginger and rosemary come through in the flavour as well but it’s also quite sour in a negative way. Usually Church-Key knocks their beers out of the park with me but this one’s just O.K. I must give kudos for their continuous willingness to experiment and their great contributions to the Canadian beer market.

On tap cafe volo. This is your basic hot day sweat off your pants in the freaking humidity brew. It’s definitely Refreshing with a hint of the whitbeer style. Not too acidic or overwrought with citrus, but nice... ginger is a definite must try at least once.
