Draught at Ginger Man, NYC
Hazy deep blond color. Herbal and soapy aroma. Dry mouthfeel, poor flavor, some herbs, lemongrass, grass, soap, dirty water. Low bitterness. Bad.

@Peekskill–on tap-pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is perfumy-honesuckle, ginger, medium malt-caramel. Taste is ginger, light malt-caramel, light body.

Draught sample at the Greenwich, CT location. They insisted there was nothing Belgian about this, but they were wrong. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of ginger, dry malt, some peppery splashes. Tastes sweet and malty with some floral notes and a nice ginger bite on the finish.

Tap at Ginger Man. Pale golden beer with a lively spicy nose. Nice rich spiciness is apparent. There is a fairly subtle ginger character in the nose. A light spiciness that is well integrated with the yeasty spiciness. The ginger is initially quite subtle, but it picks up as the beer warms up, as does the light Belgian yeasty spiciness. There is a really nice crisp/crackery maltiness. A bit of hoppy spice/grassiness comes through on the back.

Tap @ Gingerman NYC. Slightly hazed copper color with an off-white head. Big ginger and spice aroma. Malty toasty flavor with a mild ginger component. Light bodied with a dry finish.

On tap at The Ginger Man, their house ale. Dark yellow with white head and lace. Dry beverage, some ginger in front. Above average mouthfeel. As good as the style normally is, though I do not usually go in for ginger

Draft at GM. Pours a red amber body with an off white lacing. Lots of ginger and almost cinnamon character. A light malt character with some earthy character. Pretty straight forward. CL 22 of 22, NICE!
