Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005 Golden coloured with a hazy appearance. Lemon aroma and flavour. Crisp on the palate with a ginger finish. Hard to believe you are drinking a 5% brew.

On tap at the brewpub. Strong ginger aroma. Very refreshing and light. Pale cloudy yellow in color. Lemony flavor. Substantial fine-bubbled white head. A great breakfast beer for the kinder. UPDATE: On tap at the 2006 Best of the Midwest Brewers’ Festival. Sweet and gingery. More like a soda pop than I last remember.

This was enjoyable if you like alot of spiciness in your beer from ginger. I prefer to drink ginger ale in a can and carbonated or with some bourbon, not in a beer, that’s just me.

Tap @ McCoy’s Public House. Cloudy, bright yellow. Looks like a ground ginger and lemonade. Great aroma of ginger ale and Chick-fil-A lemonade. Awesome. So f’n refreshing. Combination of pure cane sugar ginger ale. No bite and home squeezed lemonade. A perfect blend. I’d let my kid drink this stuff. Yummy.

Draft at the St. Louis Microfest - Hazy pale yellow pour with light head. Aroma had ginger and light bits of lemon. Light mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Prickly ginger taste with no apparent alcohol. Some sweetness, but not much. Nothing new on the finish. I drink non-alcoholic ginger brews and this taste like it has as much alcohol as those - none. It was a nice drink, but I still can’t believe it is a beer. I’d drink this again as I’m a sucker for ginger, in both food and drink.

Perfumy, ginger and lemony aroma. Cloudy pale yellow color, fine creamy head. Very little beer flavor, mostly sweet, citrusy lemonade and ginger flavors. No hop bitterness or flavor. Extremely light and effervescent. Just very un-beery. I guess this won the silver at the GABF 2002 in the Specialty category, too. Make of that what you will.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is a bit chemical with a bit of ginger in there. Flavor tried to out ginger a ginger ale. That’s not a bad thing but the end result is a very sweet ginger beer with a bit of heaveyness. This is really to sweet to try more than just a sample but if you like ginger this is right up your alley. All the girls around us seemed to love this.
