Apr 20, 2009 And now for something completely different...Pours a very hazy pale golden color with a thick white head that hangs around forever. Wow, you can smell the ginger from across the room. Going in for a closer...err...smell, there is also anise, pepper, rosemary, and a wonderful floral quality in the aroma. The aroma of this is just incredible. Slightly tart and lemony flavor plays with the underlying malt and anise sweetness. All of these spices play off of each other very well, I couldn’t imagine there is a more perfect ratio of these spices. The qualities of the caraway and anise really emerge in the flavor, especially as this brew warms. I imagine this is going to be a love it or hate it brew, put me down firmly in the love it camp.

Apr 17, 2009 My first grut, and unfortunately I can not endorse this brew. I was not a big fan of the spicy "special ingredients" that hit your nose and palate upon the sudden splash of quofffing. I would not recommend this to anyone except someone with a great palate for different tasting brews and someone willing to deviate from the norm. Bad beer.

Apr 13, 2009 16 oz bottle from South Bay Drugs. Pours a clear pale oily yellow color with a small fizzy white head. Nose is quite spicy with rosemary and ginger being dominate. Flavor was ginger and very different, interesting with no hops being added. Kind of almost salty and reminded me of ginger beer.
