Apr 12, 2005 Poured a medium, cloudy golden color with a smaller white head. Aromas of ginger and almost a sweet honey aroma. Sweet tasting with a spicy bite to it. Thin and weaker body.

Jun 15, 2002 Well, its interesting but it doesn’t quite work. Very dry; interesting ginger/hoppy nose and lots of spice flavor throughout; very dry. Real problem is a metallic character that gets stronger as time passes. Unlikely to try it again, but glad I had it once.

Oct 14, 2006 Any first impressions?
-There is decent foam retention to cover the transparent tan golden.
-Humble cereal sweetness topples ginger in the nose.
-Gingery fruitiness collaborates with the caramel/cereal sweetness.
-The well-constructed body remains quaffable due to the lively carbonation.
What if you dig deeper?
-A furtive citrusy hop bite dries off the ending.
-Wheat plays an important role here, and keeps the beer far from the gimmick zone.
-A decent meal accompaniment, or estival quencher, this ginger beer won’t wow most but will surely please those looking for novelty.
Bottle; no date notched.
