750ml from a trade on BA. Thanks to a generous trader. Big bodied pour, with a head that was difficult to control. Translucent, amber, with some soft golden hues around the edge and some crystal clear carbonation. The nose was very ripe, with the weizen yeast coming across strongly and the rye somewhat sharp as well. The ginger was not as prominent in the nose as I had expected. The taste was slightly problematic, with the balanced characteristics of the beer being overrun a bit by the sharp, at times harsh presence of the ginger. I like some bite in my beer, but this was a bit too astringent.

Amber coloured and clear. Aroma is perfumed, ginger, too much ginger makes it a bit unpleasent. Flavor is sweet.

750ml bottle via trade with alexsdad, shared with my girlfriend Cyn who got very excited about the name. I love ginger and rye so why not. Pours a beautifal gold with a big frothy head that leaves a lot of lacing as it falls. Nose has notes of ginger, rye, lemon and slight maltiness. Taste is interesting and overall pretty funky (in an non sour way). Lots of ginger though subdued over a big rye beer. This is drinkable interesting and has a lot of nice qualities.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a fluffy tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of ginger and straw. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of ginger - too much for my liking, leading to a dry finish where the sweetness carries thru.
