Dan witnesses a battle of honey versus ginger via Ardent Honey Ginger care of friend @RVABeermeister earlier during the pandemic.

Ardent Craft Ales Honey Ginger

STYLE: Spiced/Herbed BeerINGREDIENTS: Locally-sourced honey with hand-peeled gingerABV: 7.8%IBU: 18AVAILABILITY: 12-Ounce cans, Draft (Summer Seasonal)Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and Untappd.

Appearance

Clear, deep amber in hue, with a half-inch, almost beige head.

Aroma

Honey is interspersed with the grain bill with the ginger popping in the background.

Taste

Battle of honey versus ginger, with the former cleaning up on the finish. The malt definitely rounds out the flavor post-battle.

Mouthfeel

Refreshing on the palate, lighter on the carbonation.

Overall

A tasty seasonal which drinks fairly easy indeed…do be careful though! I would love to see this with many dishes, but a little bit of heat from a Szechuan-style dish would be really neat to pair.

Thank you so much to Sterling aka @RVABeermeister for sharing this one!.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
