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.

Crushed with Jakebra. Not grossed out by any means. Kinda appley aroma, almost white wineish. Flavor is interesting, pretty smooth, and unoffensive. Not good, but could be a lot worse.

Bottle in Bar Harbor brewery. I do not like ginger but honestly could not taste much ginger in this beer. Not sure if that is good or not. Overall a very easy drinking beer no matter what food you eat it with.

Bottle from Wine Cellar. Hazy golden tinged amber color with a slight white head. Aroma is ginger. Near medium body with frothy carbonation. The flavor is primarily ginger, though there seems to be a bit of breadiness underneath. This is a very good ginger. It keeps the spiciness right on through to the end.

this was a strange beer. i have never tasted anything like it before. i can see how people might like it paired with some Asian cuisine but i was not a fan of the ginger.

12oz bottle, purchased at the brewery. Pours hazy pale yellow-golden, capped with a moderate sized white head. The aroma is primarily ginger, with some wheat and white pepper. Ginger flavor is not as pronounced as I expected, at least not initially. The flavor is primarily cereal and wheat, with ginger ale and orange flavor toward the finish. Ginger hangs around for a fairly long finish, but it’s not too intense. Interesting beer, but the flavor just doesn’t work for me.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sweet malt and mild ginger aromas. Sweet full malt upfront with a cloying ginger finish.
