Bière blonde aux reflets dorés, cette bière est brassée avec des racines de gingembre frais. Au nez le gingembre et un mélange d’épices sont perceptibles. Au goût, dominent le gingembre, la cannelle, le cardamone avec un léger arrière-goût de clou de girofle qui en fait une bière rafraîchissante et désaltérante. Le mélange d’épices lui offre une belle complexité que vous aimerez répéter. Elle se marie parfaitement aux sushis ou aux plats thaïlandais et vietnamiens. Au brunch, surprenez vos invités en leur offrant un mimosa fait avec cette bière. Elle est aussi excellente lorsque intégrée à vos recettes de vinaigrettes et mets asiatiques.

473 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Sandnes Kvadrat. Golden colour, no head. Distinct sweetish aroma of ginger on a background of malts. Thin mouthfeel. Flavour of ginger, but without a proper "ginger burn". Hints of citrus, some malts, not too sweet, no bitterness. Uninteresting, won't buy again.

The aroma is dominated with ginger, spicy, yet sweet ginger. The flavour is clean, and crisp with loads of ginger spiciness. An interesting brew, but not something i would drink regularily.

En fût au brouepub. Couleur jaune très pâle translucide, mousse blanche fuyante. Arôme de gingembre, parfum, malt, végétal. Goût de malt pâle, gingembre, un peu d’épicé du gingembre en fin de bouche. Carbonatation faible, corps faible.

Leicht trübes hell goldgelbes Bier mit wenig weißem Schaum. Geruch sehr süß, Ingwer und Minze. Geschmack scharf würzig, viel Minze und etwas Ingwer, kaum Biergeschmack, dennoch nicht so schlecht.

Originally rated March 2006. The first small pour of this brew created a huge white foamy head completely filling the glass. After a few pours, I finally got everything in. Crazy vivid carbonation, medium retention, patchy lacing and a head that fizz like ginger ale (except longer). Hazy golden-beige colour with some small white sediment in the bottom of the glass. The nose is kind of sour with nice citrus perfume and a touch of ginger in the back. The taste starts off sour (maybe pass the best before date ?) with slight ginger in the aftertaste. After a while, the sourness seems to disappear a bit. There seems to be a touch of wax, which I also found in their carrot brew, and don’t really enjoy. Overall good, but wish the ginger would be a tad more evident in the taste. Note: bought some at the brewery and did not drink it for over a year. Actually, much better nowadays as no sourness from infection and ginger is nicely balanced overall.

Bottle: Poured a golden colored beer with very little head. Seems to lack carbonation. Aroma is quite sweet and ginger can already be detected. Taste is totally overpowered by ginger, which in my case is a good thing since I quite like ginger. Overall, this is a very refreshing beer that may lack subtlety but those not lack ginger.

Rather anemic yellow beer with almost no head. Fresh ginger aroma, which is a plus, with a touch of vanilla. In mouth, almost like a mix of lemongrass and ginger, liek a thai extract. Thin to medium, Kawnmower quality.
