bottle from Hamilton’s Tavern. Pours deep copper color with thin white head. Aroma spices, pineapples, some hops. Taste is mildly spicy, some cane sugar-like flavors, some bitterness. Clean finish. Ginger not overpowering.

Pours orange cloude, off white head. Aroma, lots of ginger and other spices. Taste, ginger, malty candi sugar, hoppy, leaves a spicy aftertaste. Finish is sweet and somewhat dry.

Bottle at Hamiltons. Pours with a slightly cloudy, amber-gold body topped by a thin to medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet and full of ginger with underlying malt notes and a slight sourness. Light bodied and smooth.

rape me! my entire rating was erased by my cell phone. nose was a candy ginger raped oak barrel, the beer had intensly thick head atop darling amber. flavors were predominantly woody with spicy ginger accents...the wood gives solid sourness overall and the ginger is strong but seems to always remain an accent. blaire from hamiltons offered this to me on the house and completely randomly, but apparently hes been paying attention to what silky likes...cuz silky like dis...and i must give big props to hamiltons, though their tap list sucked that day. in any event, this was hitachino at its sour, woody, and gingery best...what the hellis more could you ask for, seriously. best brewery to ever exist. period.

Cloudy brown, large white head. Pretty much dominated by ginger in both the aroma and flavor. If you like ginger, you’ll like this beer. Pretty simple, really.
