Left Hand Juju Ginger

Brewed by Left Hand Brewing Co.
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Longmont, Colorado USA

Pours a very clear, golden color with low amounts of carbonation and a moderately dense head that fades down to a very thin filmy white head. Aroma has a ginger presence mixed with a very grainy base malt sweetness and finishes with a grassy note. Flavor is overpowered by a heavy ginger root note, not a sweet ginger ale type of flavor. A sweet grainy note, a light grassy hops presence are present with it finishing out with a very pronounced green tea type of flavor and texture. The brew has a very light density associated with it, a very clean crisp texture to it and very low carbonation present. Overall the flavors worked well, very clean but I find the ginger to be a bit too much. Although I am not a big ginger fan, I still say this is a decent brew to give a try.

24th May 2008. Crisp refreshing beer with a good (but not overpowering) ginger presence. No complexity here but not bad.

This is my first beer rating in my new house! Believe it or not, I know live on PORTER ROAD. I picked up this Left Hand mix 12pack at one of 2 good beer stores nearby. I now have a store on my drive home that stocks Founders, Left Hand, Alesmith, and many Belgians. This beer is refreshing with just a hint of ginger and almost no hops. I would have liked it better if they bumped up the ginger and hop flavs. This is still enjoyable with a crisp finish. I think that it cleared up my cough too. Ha

Bottle. Pours a clear copper, no real head, but does have some nice lacing. Taste is very light, crisp and a tiny bit dry. Smell is a bit sweet, with hints of citrus and ginger. After taste is a bit bland and watery; actually reminds me of the last 1/3rd of a can of semi-warm Keystone

Can I say first that I really wanted to like this beer? Purchased a 4 pack at the local bottle shop, poured into a bell glass with a nice 1 inch head. Nice aroma of ginger and touch of citrus. Incredibly effervescent which combined with the ginger flavor gives a sharp acrid ’bite’ to the finish. The extra light body only adds to the astringency. Interesting to try this one once, and it might go really well with spicy thai food.

Nice floral hop aroma with a bit of citrus and ginger. The flavor is nice enough, but this is a pretty lightweight brew. I don’t taste much ginger, but there is a little spice livening up this non-descript, average light ale.
