Commercial Description:
A refreshing wheat beer spiced with fresh ginger root. The process of making this wheat beer has been nicknamed "special ginger tea", due to the fact that we add over 20 lbs. of fresh ground ginger root into the boil. We use pale malt, and wheat, as well as Target and Whitbread Goldings Variation hops to flavor this light, summer ale. Island Ginger is particularly popular during the warmer summer months, though thanks to the ginger kick it has, it would also be warming in the cold winter months.

Orangey body with a thin white head. Aroma of ginger. Flavor is spicy ginger, but not particularly well crafted. Palate is light and refreshing. A good summer beer.

Bottle. Poured a hazy orange-brown color with a white head that fizzed off quickly. Smells of ginger and wheat. Very faint hoppy flavor. Light body with a lively carbonation that took over the flavor.

I have had this beer a couple of times. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange color with a medium sized orange-white head. The aroma is hot and spicy with a tangy citrus undertone. The flavor is strong hot candied ginger. The ginger overwhelms any actual "beer" like flavor. The finish is hot and spicy. Not terrible but quite one sided.

Bottle. Clear amber with large frothy white head that diminished slowly. Heavy hoppy ginger aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Moderate sweet ginger flavor with a small bitter finish. Drinkable brew.

Pours hazy light golden with a fully receding white head. Aroma of citrus and ginger with mild fruitiness and a note of alcohol. Taste is spicy and fruity with a dry finish. Mouthfeel is thin bodied with medium carbonation. No major flaws, but just not enough to satisfy my expectations of ginger greatness.

This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of fine to medium sized mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained soft carbonation, was hazy and orange in color. Its aroma contained notes of mild ginger and was slightly off. Its mouth feel is tingly and spicy with a lingering tingly palate. Its flavor contained spicy ginger notes and was not much to my liking. Not one I would buy again.

Pours light orange with little to no head. Nose is mild ginger and wheat. Flavor is spicy and a bit citrusy. Kind of boring.

Bottle: Aroma of ginger and grass. Pours a hazy orange with a minimal soapyl off-white head. Flavor is very grassy up front with a moderate, but slightly watery, ginger finish. Wheat characteristics don’t really come thru. Mediocre at best.
