What does the "G" stand for.GINSING.Yes,I put ginsing in a beer.Why? Because I can.And yes the IPA does stand for India Pale Ale.The first one turned out great so I decided to make another.The hop flavor and aroma wasn't there in my opinion but the malt flavor was good.It was bitter enough but not what I was looking for. Next time more flavor and aroma hops.It took about 2 1/2 months for the head to build because of the oils from the ginsing
