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.

It pours an opaque orange-amber with a fairly thick off-whitehead. Aroma is rich and malty with a strong undertone of orange. Flavor is crisp and malty, somewhat citrus fruity, with just a whisper of hops. It goes down smoothly and is very refreshing and delightful.

Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is sweet, light fruit, light ginger. Light body. Flavor is a little bit sweet with fruit and ginger noted. Not bad.

Bottle. Poured a clear light gold with minimal white head with light retention. Aroma was nice, like ginger ale. Flavor was of dominating ginger with very, very light sweetness with dry finish. Palate was light mouth feel, medium carbonation. Odd that this is a wheat beer as well......Im sure some out there would be a fan of this, but I need sweetness with ginger...

Pours a slightly cloudy amber with a one finger frothy white head. Ginger in the aroma, sweet ginger, spicy, not much else. The flavor is the same. A neutral base beer with some ginger, not bad but not something you want more than one of.

tasted with BMan1113VR. Orange honey like color with some amber highlights. No lacing and no head. nose is giner and garbage with some spice. Taste is like chinese food that was left out over night with some ginger and corn. Finish is weak.

Off whtie cream colored coming out of the bottle. Smells like cream soda from far away. From closer up smells like staunch ginger root. Looks kinda like cream soda too. Big 1.5 inch very thick dense pure white foam head. Tastes like pale, strong ginger malt beer that has a distinctive spice and very long lingering ginger aftertaste. Almost like a tea instead of a beer, just not my cup.
