Aug 22, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a pale gold with a white head. Pleasant aroma of ginger with some fennel detected on the nose as well. The flavor is similar although not quite as distinctive as the aroma. A bit spritzy on the palate. An interesting beer, although probably not something I would frequent on a regular basis.

Aug 12, 2009 Pours slightly hazy pale golden color with thick, white head with a few dollops here and there. Nose is light and with the coriander it suggest something more familiar such as a Belgian wheat. On the palate the impressions of an ale rather than a lager are seen, perhaps it’s just the association with these spices to another style, but it is rather soft with some gentle fruit in there... again, an ale.

Aug 10, 2009 A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
My god. Sorry guys but I thought this was really bad. Lemon yellow with a thin white head. Stale vegetables and farrrrrr too spicy. I really can’t drink this without pulling a face. Very medcinal in the finish. Dumped.

Aug 6, 2009 Cloudy, rich orange-amber pour, minimal fizzy white head with some slight retention. Very strong spicy aroma, lots of coriander and ginger--reminiscent of a ginger ale, actually. Ginger is also quite prominent on the palate, along with noble hops and pepper. Long, gingery finish. Much fuller mouthfeel than I had been expecting and good, even carbonation. Held my interest. All in all a curious but quite pleasant beer, a bit dirty and garish perhaps but then again so is Coney Island...I also enjoyed the rather naughty label.
