NOTES: I’m not a fan of herbed/spice beers, however I love ginger and pretty much anything Hitachino Nest does, so I was conflicted going it. Pours to a gingerbread house brown with a carbonated white bubbly head that laced the glass all the way down. Smell was of gingerbread too, although subtle. Taste was a lot of ginger up front, with a sweet malt at the back. After a while however the ginger settled, either because I got used to it or as the beer warmed up. Overall I was presently surprised and I highly recommend.
