De Graal Gember

Brewed by De Graal
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Brakel, Belgium

A slightly unclear dark yellow beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with nice ginger notes. The flavor is a round soft ginger flavor - really a great flavor for a ginger beer. It also has a nice palate. The best ginger beer I've ever had.

(Bottle 33 cl) I believe this was De Graal’s first beer. And -atypically- it’s a ginger beer. Very beautiful, amber colour, hazy with a large amount of yeast-sediment. But it’s the completely massive head that leaves the biggest impression. It stands an inch high in the glass and never disappears completely. Unusually welldone. Ginger beer can be a mixed delight, but this might be the best I’ve ever had. The ginger adds a piquant edge to an already good ale. High carbonation. 010203

Bottled. Orange and cloudy with a wealth of small floaters. Light ginger aroma. Sweet and malty, and IMO a good balance between the sugar, the malt and the ginger. Original and complex interplay between malt and spices.

33 cL bottle. Pours golden yellow/orange with a huge white head. Aroma is light, fruity, berries and floral. Flavour is sweet candy caramel like with a mild fruity touch. Finish is rather sweet. Refreshing.

Bottle. Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is light to moderate yeasty, spicy, moderate ginger. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, and a syntetich touch. Body is medium to light, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (110408)

Fruity, peppery aroma. Flavour is fruity with a hint of yeast and pepper.

Bottled. Pale orange colour with lots of floating particles in it. Aroma is barnyard, spices, sweetish malts. Ginger bomb! Flavour is honey, ginger, yeast, malts and hops. A very pleasant and well made beer.

Bottle. Hazy golden coloured with floaties and a white head. Aroma of fruits and spices, especially ginger. Sweet flavour of fruits and ginger with spicy notes. A bit too sweet.
