Atlantic Mount Desert Island Ginger

Brewed by Atlantic Brewing Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Bar Harbor, Maine USA

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!

Bottle. Medium smooth white head that was mostly diminishing with fine-small sized bubbles, semi-transparent, carbonated, fair lacing, and a pale yellow hue. Malty, sweet, spicy, peppery aroma. Flavor was sweet, spicy and peppery. Tingly mouthfeel. Light-medium bodied beer.

Cloudy golden pour, ginger and light citrus nose. Wheat and ginger taste as advertised.

(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with goldtwins, thanks Larry!) Ginger beers rarely ever a beverage I enjoy because, well, I just don’t care for ginger root. But maybe they’re growing on me because this one seems pretty drinkable to me, though that’s not synonymous with enjoyable. All I seem to get out of this beer is sweet, spicy ginger in the nose and on the tongue, and the ginger has significantly more presence than most other ginger brews. The ginger is fairly bitter as well, especially in the finish, and while that helps to break up the sweetness, the bitterness is actually a detractor for me. Body is medium with good carbonation. Amber in color with only the slightest bit of haze. The attractive, half-inch of off-white head on the pour dissipates within ten minutes or so -- not even a ring of head and no lacing. Very flavorful, lots of ginger, but I suspect this is one of those acquired tastes I’ll never acquire.

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.

Bottle from clarkvv. Hazy gold pour with light fizzy head. aroma of strong ginger. Flavor is ginger with light wheat notes.

Pours hazy gold/orange with thin head. Aroma is grainy malt, some wheat and yeast, very light Ginger. Flavour is sourish wheat, some Ginger spice tones through the middle and a light banana wheat finish with lingering trace of Ginger.
