33cl, beer with ginger, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, hazy, good head, good brew

hazy gold blond coloured body with a sparkling white head a spicy herby yeasty aroma a spicy yeasty herby fruity taste with a sweet alcholic bitter finish nice one

750ml bottle. Thick, murky golden-tan color with a nice off-white head. Lots of floaties. The aroma is light and refreshing, with some honey, coconut, and mango tones. The ginger is quite apparent, but the mouthfeel is creamy and yeasty enough to take it all in and balance it out. Mild grapefruit notes as well, but not in the overbearing Cascade way, more in a sugary mellow dessert way. Impressive in that it maintains a nice mouthfeel and dangerously sessionable taste, while fully displaying the Ginger flavor as well. Exceptional balance. A great beer, a ginger lover’s dream come true.

Blond with a small head. Large white flakes floating around. Gingery aroma and taste that overwhelms everything else that might have been there. Best before date:June 2004.

A blond coloured beer slightly hazy, a small white head and few carbonation. A strong spicy aroma (cinamon?) Full palate sparkling a bit. Finish is sweet bitter treating the tongue with a nice tickling feeling. Very good one.

Buona ! dai non è che sia sto capolavoro, ma è ben speziata, lo zenzero ci sta piuttosto bene, ed è bilanciata così si lascia bere bene! Bella Fre

Bottle form Utobeer. Golden with a small white head. Smells like ginger ale with a hint of lemon. Tastes somewhat similar but sweet with a touch of honey. Very mild for it’s abv, fizzy with slight sediment. Enjoyable

On tap @ Chez Moeder Lambic. Cloudy lemon-yellow with thick, cottony, white head. Gorgeous appearance. Aroma is sweet honey, floral and herbal, like lemongrass, orange peel, and yeah, that could be ginger. Flavor is cloying, medicinal herbal and spicy, with a mildly juicy center of lemon and faint ginger. Hops added some needed dimension toward the finish line, and the beer ends dry and piney with noticeable alcohol. Mouthfeel is lively and fairly dry. Interesting and complex, the only major turn-offs were the medicine and alcohol elements. Could be a great match with recipes that use ginger and lemon.
