Redfish Gin-Go-Lo-Ba Ginger

On tab at the brewery/rest - lots of ginger smell, but the taste is just about right. I really like ginger beers, and this one is at the top of my list.

Tap @ Redfish: Poured a clear goden amber color with an off-white head. Definite ginger in the aroma. Not overpowering though. ginger flavor is smooth but still make out the sweet malt. Medium body.

on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is ginger (ale-sweet). Taste is mild ginger ale-sweet, faint hops. OK/mild carbonation.

Smells of toasty cereal maltiness and some light appley fruitiness. Bittersweet on the palate, a very light bit of ginger spiciness in the aroma and flavor, but it is what it is, and it is very light in all aspects, and not overpowering on the palate, just not enough to really be rated higher than it is.

Head is mostly diminishing. Body is clear light amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain), trace yeast (dough), with a note of ginger (quite realistic). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Very realistic ginger smell that pervades the aroma, but I kept wishing there were more things to make interesting. Good.

4 oz sampler at the brewpub, 4/14/06: Amber color. OK, a vauge ginger sense does exist here .. but otherwise this is an average amber beer.
