Clear gold pour white head. Pretty strong with the ginger and maybe some sour notes. Ok.

This brew is a clear pale golden color with with a thick off-white head that recedes steadily to a film after initially gushing out of the can. Stringy lacing. Ginger, malt and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of fresh ginger, fruity hops and caramel malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a ginger and grassy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can: Grass, ginger, mint, aroma, fecal and catty. Clear amber, thick creamy head. Lilly, ginger, lemon zest, grass, maybe a little vegetal. Light body, easy carbonation. What you would expect from a ginger pale ale, not overly hoppy and not an absolute ginger bomb, still beery.

Very hazy golden coloured body with an orange colour and a large soapy white head, about five centimetres tall. Aroma of ginger, alcohol, light malt, sugar, caramel and way more full ginger. Medium-bodied; Strong ginger flavour with some light malt and a touch of malt and sugar, but after that - fairly mild. Aftertaste shows a good sweetness and a lot of ginger spice - that’s about it, but not in a bad way. Overall, a good beer for the summer months and to show a lot of flavour related to spice and sugar. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from The Charleston Beer Exchange in Charelston, South Carolina on 20-April-2015 for US$2,16 sampled at home in Washington on 05-November-2015.

Can thanks to Craig. Appearance - golden with an oily texture and a fluffy head. Nose - ginger primarily. light pale malt. Taste - ginger biscuits with a green stalky note in the back. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a dry biscuity finish. Overall - this is good for a beer that is very much dominated by ginger, which I generally don’t think is a good idea.
