What Our Editors Thought
“Lime and ginger pop out in the aroma, fun and bright, weird and wonderful, with sweet and savory notes, citrus and salt, and mushroom for good measure. Nice lemony tartness, not sharply sour; punchy limeade middle is fun and quenching with citrus and electrolytes, yet slightly chewy with an umami note. Just a touch of ginger heat plays with the wasabi. Clean, dry finish, quenching. Lime in lead, ginger in support, the rest as accents. With this many lead actors, you’d expect one to steal the stage, but the ensemble cast gives each their space and creates a whole greater than the sum of its parts.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Like a crisp evening walking along a rocky coast. The depth of the sea is in the aroma. Briny sea breeze with an inviting waft of citric acidity with a hint of fresh oysters on the half shell. Bold acidity is immediate and prominent. Bubbly, zesty, and refreshing. Assertive and unapologetic but well balanced by the sobering ginger that keeps it from being too overwhelming. Lime, lactic acid, and a ginger/wasabi zing that makes your eyes water a tad, in a good way.”
What the Brewers Say
“Oregon Coast wild gose with Oregon seaweed, Oregon wasabi root, ginger, lime, and Oregon Coast sea salt.”
