The gravity at rack was 1.010. When we added the rhubarb fluid it lent a pinkish hue. Volume at rack was 5 gallons, and we each got to have a few ounces of the un-flavored warm wheat ale. Can't wait to taste it when it's flavored all the way and the secondary ferment is done.

Very good hoppy flavor, with nice flavor from the malt. Tasted wheaty, mediumly cloudy.

At keggig we found it to have a nice wheaty, aromatic hoppy flavor - very little bitterness, but plenty of sour from the rhubarb. The ginger didn't stand out at all, but a hint of orange could be tasted. Good spring beer.
