Jul 30, 2005 This beer is unique, I’ll give it that. The ginger is so overpowering that it reminds me of Japanese food. Avoid. I don’t know how anyone could regularly consume this.

Jul 16, 2005 Aroma is OK. Comes across as a regular wheat beer until about half done, that’s when I noticed the ginger more in the flavor. Felt good and finished nicely.

Jul 13, 2005 Updated: Jan 19, 20092005 bottle consumed on 7/1/2005 with SuIIy. Deep pencil yellow/candied pineapple colored body. Thick and cloudy looking, completely opaque and unfiltered. Fizzy white head recedes quickly to ring, but tons of lacing is left on the glass. Aroma is full on ginger. Not a lot gets around the ginger, though the ginger smells fresh and juicy. Flavor of ginger and vanilla, up front, with a bit of wheat sour/dryness. Light banana chips notes. Low carbonation, lazy bubbles burst forth on to the surface and pleasure the tongue quite nicely. Some candied pineapple flavor on the end, sort of a mix of the ginger and sweet malt. Touches of sourness on the finish, as well. The mouthfeel is quite interesting, with a chewy or perhaps, gummy sort of texture. Well-malted, with ginger and vanilla beans lingering on.

Jul 5, 2005 Aroma was ginger. It’s a unique flavored beer, but like the Atlantic Blueberry it’s just a bit too flavored with a bit too much ginger. It’s an interesting brew, but I personally wouldn’t drink more than one.

Jun 26, 2005 Opaque orangey yellow color. foamy white head. Very creamy mouthfeel, very light and summery. Lots of ginger, orange, and some spice in the aroma. Got some vanilla and ginger, rye, nutmeg, and carmel in the flavor. i think this is very gooood, and a very good summer beer.

Jun 26, 2005 A golden orange color that is very viscous, no light shall get through this beer. Lots of ginger rye and corainder in the aroma. I get a little gingerbread man in the body, but alot more caramel malts. Its pretty damn refreshing i must say.Very light on its feet and wet.

Jun 26, 2005 Poured a golden yellow with very little head. Aroma was powerfully gingerry with little sweetness behind it. Flavor was also one-dimensional, with the ginger dominating. Light mouthfeel and a light, but long ginger finish. Did I mention that this beer has some ginger characteristics? I would’ve scored this a bit higher if ginger was cool like garlic, and I could use the brew to fend off Dracula. Oh well.. What can ya do?
