750mL cork and cage bottle. Batch 3.. The cork was poorly placed in this bottle but fortunately no undesired effects. Pours with a medium large head that has a good retention and a nicely sticky lacing. Color is a cloudy very pale golden and it glows despite the cloudiness. Looks pretty. Aroma is medium strength citrus and lemon. Effervescent on the nose. Just a faint hint bubblegum ester. Flavor is not strong, a very dry flavor with citrus tang and just a faint hint of bubblegum ester, which works very will with the beer. Its exceptionally executed. No elements that dominate and beautifully melded with a drying brew. A very light easy drinking mouthfeel. with a long dry aftertaste I do not get any ginger but I know I am not sensitive to it. I am not sure why this is rating so poorly but it may be batch variations. Great to drink, this beer has turned around my view of Augusta Brewery.
