Spicy hops up front with just a touch of ginger. Dry and crisp with marked spicy hops as it’s most prominent feature. There’s notes of grainy bread before a finish with medium bitterness. A really refreshing well made pilsener with a twist. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Hazy golden-bronze. The aroma is mainly of pickled ginger and ginger beer. Somewhat spicy, with more bitterness than expected. Fairly thin on the malts. Not terribly well-balanced. I’m sure this idea could be done better. jcwattsrugger (5573), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 21, 2009 22 oz bomber. Golden coloured beer, thin white head. Aroma is more pilsner than ginger. Fairly standard grainy aroma. There is a kiss of herbal/floral hoppiness on the back. Lightly sweet flavour with a touch of gingery spiciness toward the back. Pretty decent, if a bit typical. Nice balance, but I was expecting more ginger from a beer with ginger in the name. HogTownHarry (4025), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 26, 2009 Bottle (22oz). Shared with blankboy, garthicus, gregclow, jerc and tupalev. Hazy gold with a small drizzle of white head. Grassy and tangy aroma - I guess that’s ginger - very delicate malt and some heather softness. The taste is similar, perhaps more pungently grassy, but some light unpleasant plastic character (warm garden hose) emerges as it warms. Everything about the palate is average - body, carbonation, linger ..... not that bad, really. jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 22, 2009 2009-03-20. Golden yellow with a small white head that fades quickly. Mil aroma of muted ginger, pale malts. Flavour is similarly mild, modest ginger presence over muted pale malts, slightly doughy bready character. Average to thin palate. Pretty meh, but could pair nicely with some sushi. Bottle shared by HogTownHarry
