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.

Bottle sampled. Pours copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of spices, caramel, and grain. The flavor is sweet, spices, caramel, and finishes with a grainy light bitterness.

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.

12oz bottle...variety case from Brewer’s Outlet...pours a cloudy orange (I made sure to get the sediment off the bottom), quickly dissipating off-white head...scents of floral and orange...taste of fruit (apricot?), spice, subtle ginger, and yeast...pretty easy drinking on a warm day...just OK.

This is a dark gold beer with a small head and an average mouth feel. The flavor is mellow with a little hoppy bitterness and ginger bite, and some sweet spice in the aftertaste. This could be bolder and more fun - it is primarily a mild wheat beer with unusual touches.

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.

Strong ginger finish, and it is a bit overbearing. If you love ginger, you will love this beer. Generally, it is very full-flavored, and very pungent. Something plant-like in it as well. Kudos for being different!
