This received a score of 197 out of a possible 295 in the Pearl Street Grill and Brewery Brewmaster's Challenge.

It's a pretty simple recipe, but using Indian coriander and fresh orange zest along with the ginger made it stand out over the other entries.

I used the zest from 2.5 navel oranges about the size of a baseball. Zest these on brewday.
