On gravity at the Portcullis, Bristol 10/12/09. Deep gold with a slight white head. Aroma of root ginger with a hint of sweet malt. Flavour of intense stem ginger, with a light malty ale underneath. Ok, but one dimensional.

Cask (handpump) at the Forum (JDW), Lincoln, April 2008. Pale gold colour. Nice condition. Quite faint ginger in the aroma but much stronger ginger notes in the flavour. Fairly subtle - more of a golden ale with ginger accents than a full on ginger bomb. Clean, fresh and fairly tasty.

March 2008 Very ginger - ginger beer! Close to raw ginger. Semi soft mid with a dry ginger and hops finish.

Pale gold and hazy, small big bubbled white head. And yes, it tastes and smells of ginger. There are people who do it better but a lot that do it worse. Dry, sweet, little spice and hops. Little watery but overall not bad.

Cask @ The Pembury fest, Nov ’07.
Golden and hazy with a small white head. I’ll spoil the surprise, it smells of ginger. More ginger in the taste, slightly sweet and hoppy. Dry hoppy, ginger finish. Not outstanding.

(Cask at White House Hotel pub, Peel, on 2008-07-05) Pale yellow. Clear. Small dense white head. Ginger and lightly malts in nose. Medium and dry palate with sting from ginger. Ginger, hops, malts and some bitterness in taste. Ginger brings slightly hot aftertaste. Interesting and not bad.

Cask at JDW Ruislip Mannor. Yellow with a mild haze and no head despite fair carbonation. Sweet malts without much hop characture, but the ginger catches you all of a sudden and elevates this to a dry thirst quencher.

Cask at JDW ... Yellow very light haze ... loads of ginger in nose ... hoppy it takes a long time for ginger to build ... bit of bite on tongue ...lacking something but still quite nice.
