| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | May 23, 2008 This is not beer, this is B.S.! Smells of sweet almost rotting ginger, whatever that smells like. Taste is similarly cloying sweet, with spicey ginger ale flavor, notes of grass too. The whole thing is a mess that lingers sticky sweet on the tongue forever. I seriously wanted to vomit with every sip. FunkyBrewster (480), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | May 22, 2008 Aroma was very much like ginger ale, and no malt or hops. Light peachy yellow in color. Flavor tasted like a cheap ginger ale. If I didn’t know I was drinking beer, I wouldn’t be able to guess it. They needed to relax on the ginger flavor a bit and add some stronger beer components.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 15, 2008 Interesting to say the least. Aroma of ginger bread cookies. Pours a fizzy gold amber. Flavor is more spicy ginger bread cookies. Crisp, carbonated, kind of thin. I liked the ginger effect. Good stuff. TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 15, 2008 Kind of a wierd beer! Pours an amber color with beige lacing. Aroma smells of grass and ginger. Taste is smooth with suttle hints of ginger. Not a bad beer! Collint (458), Sylva, North Carolina, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 15, 2008 Bottle, 10:45 am. Pours a clear light amber with a thin beige head. Aroma is grassy and earthy. THe ginger is very light and not overpowering. Pretty good, i was expecting less. Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 13, 2008 Pours a hazy pale amber with a small, off-white head which diminishes quickly to a thin skin of bubbles at the surface. The nose is an instant hit of freshly grated ginger over faint pale malt. This isn’t sweet like ginger ale. It’s more spicy instead, literally smelling like a slice of fresh ginger. Light-bodied and fairly thin with tongue-coating carbonation and a clean, crisp finish. The flavor is essentially spicy, effervescent ginger with just a hint of pale malt peaking out from behind. There’s isn’t much more going on with this one, and I think it suffers a bit because of this. As a stand-alone drinker, it’s a bit too one-dimensional for my tastes, but I’ll bet that it would make a interesting partner to sushi and other light Asian fare.
