Naturally carbonated in the keg. Nice cloudy pinkish amber color with a creamy white head. Great with a slice of lemon. Lemon and spicy ginger aroma. Ginger, lemon, malt and carbonation dance on the tongue with the hops cutting in for the next number. Dry and refreshing wirh a slight rooty/earthy quality in the background. I will brew this again.
