Apr 3, 2005 Zythos Beer Festival, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium 2005. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Spicy fruity aroma and a sweet fruity, ginger taste. Medium body and a sweet finish.

Jan 3, 2004 Golden color, clear. Strong ginger aroma. Malty ginger flavor. Medium bodied. Sweet with not even a hint of alcohol. I don't like ginger (=gember), but it fits with this beer and it is not annoying. Clean palate. Still not a beer I would buy more often.

Jun 9, 2005 a sim rate:
It smells remarkably perfumey. Almost like floral gums. There’s a definite floral scent that is great as you’re taking a sip. The taste is perfumey as well, although it doesn’t spoil the ginger flavour that’s subtle. The alcohol content is much higher than you’d expect when tasting. Loooong finish. The palate is really full and makes for a fine drinking experience.

Mar 2, 2008 Bottle @ thewolf tasting.
[thank you, Yespr]
Pours a hazy pale yellow with a slight green hue. A fine, lightly white creamy head. Good lacing. Aroma is sweet, lots of ginger. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour is soft, lightly tart, good ginger. Much like a Saison.

Aug 28, 2004 Bottle. I don’t really like ginger beers, but this one was OK, definite ginger flavour, mixed with some lemon rindy type flavours and some Belgian yeastyness, touch of alcohol in the finish, it was OK.

Jan 25, 2003 Dark blond. Flimsy head, rather stable however. Nose: first feta-herbs, then outspoken ginger, like preserved (Japanese sushi-)ginger. Some candi-sugar.
Taste gives ginger again. Retronasal very outspoken liquorice flavour, some tart bitterness overlying on malts.
Mouthfeel is rather thin, but the spiceyness beefs it up.
Aftertaste: the ginger keeps overpowering.
Overall not bad - it's a real try at something different.

May 18, 2004 What made me open my eyes with this beer, was the difference in aroma and flavor. Aroma is a bit heavy with spices. Flavor is very fresh.
