| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 9/20 | Jun 6, 2005 first sip was acceptable, after that iit was drinkable only by squeezing in the rest of my lime in the fridge. Its a biere de garde taste, promising pour, but ginger doesn’t help it. Tinny taste OlivierMTL (711), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 5, 2005 Blonde dorée et translucide parsemé d’une mousse blanche à l’allure gondolée, partiellement persistante et adhérant bien à la paroi du verre. Dégagement gazeux très présent lors du service. Arômes de gingembre rappelant plutôt la noix de pin et la muscade. En bouche, ces parfums occupent la plupart de l’espace, abandonnant ainsi les caractéristiques de malt dont je m’attends habituellement à retrouver dans une bière de garde. Les conifères et les limettes s’éteignent subitement pour laisser place à une finale métallique. Corps de densité mi-mince allant vers moyenne. Pas une bière de garde et relativement sans nuance mais tout de même buvable et désaltérante. Bouteille LCBO, Mai 2005. heemer77 (4304), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 18, 2005 Courtesy of pintbypint. Alumminium 330ml bottle. Ingredients listed as beer and ginger. Light and bright gold coloring with only traces of a head. The aroma is rich and buttery apples with some white wine. The taste is fairly dry grapes and some traces of the ginger in the aftertaste. There is a faint citrus hint in here with some hay. A nice light brew that makes a great summer refresher. MrManning (1649), London, Ontario, Canada
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 11, 2005 Aluminum bottle from the LCBO- GOlden coloured body with a thin white head. Aromas are hops, mild mild ginger, other herbs, chemicals? taste is a little off...ginger, some hops bitterness, tonic water, grass. FInish is watery, dry, boring. I imagine the bottle will be a cool collectible though. caledonian (367), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 8, 2005 Definitely a very cool aluminum bottle. Ginger and soapy aroma. Clear blond, light carbonation, smallish head. The flavor has some breadyness, faint chalky note, and of course ginger. Bit of an oily texture.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 1, 2005 slick packaging, the little aerosol canister looking aluminum package; part can, part bottle-- very futuristic looking. if the beer was any good, i’d envision filling a bandolier with about a dozen of them for parties. what dribbles out is less impressive, a rather drab and nearly headless beverage, the sickly yellow of advanced hepatitis. the rubbed ginger smell was forthcoming, but other aspects of aroma tended to recede as the nose-- not very enthusiastically-- pursued them. celery and rubber bands, a tad medicinal. it has a spritzy effervescence that wears itself out quickly-- so take heed: ’warm’ and flat is not where this beer should be allowed to go. spank it down cold and quickly for best results. a quick guzzle will cause sparks of palate cleansing refreshment, and for a soda pop, it’s not dreadfully sweet. predictably thin, ginger and mild lemon on top of a veeeeery light pils body. as far as a beer, it’s kind of like a very earnest 12 year old wanting to be a fire fighter. obviously, he can’t measure up, but why be mean and say it to his face?

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 1, 2005 Clean golden lager with slight straw head. Light ginger aroma with a poor lager aroma. Stale aroma refeshing ginger taste. Slight bitter palate... I like ginger I’m bias a bit towards this. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 29, 2005 Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of ginger. Flavor of ginger with spices. This is not good, not good at all, I like ginger in asian food but in beer so far it’s not a good match at all.
