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.

Aug 20, 2008 never had a Ginger beer before. Juju tasted like many of the ginger ales I’ve had over the years. Add in light malts and bitterness and you have a ginger beer. Can this be considered a summer beer?

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle, Raven, Liverpool. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a small off white head. Ginger, grassy hop aroma. Flavour was light ginger and caramel malt. Light to medium body. A bit on the watery side, but drinkable.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle @ home. Golden orange colour, white head. Aroma of fruits, ginger and some sugar. Taste is ginger mixed with amber beer flavours, like sweet malts. Not too sweet though, actually quite refreshing. A nice surprise, this beer.
