I remember this being pretty good? Maybe? I remember at least thinking that Chuckanut's a better brewery than Northwest.

Sweet amber, more malty than hoppy, with an herbal, ginger-root finish. As seems typical for ginger brews, the hops and ginger kind of meld into each other, and the otherwise uncomplicated flavor is a bit insipid. Probably wouldn't order this again.

On its own, it's a little malt-rich (but thankfully not sweet), but it balances the food at Din Tai Fung (for which it's made) beautifully. Grassy and dry open with a medium-bitter finish.
