Ginger Ale, wortwörtlich genommen. Ein leichterer, dunkler Biertypus – ausbalancierte Vollmundigkeit, zurückhaltender Hopfengeschmack mit kräftigem und wohldosiertem Ingwer‐Ton. Nicht süß, passt sehr gut zu fernöstlichen Speisen.

In my opinion, it is a pleasant and refreshing ginger beer, a bit sparkling, some spicy side, malt, some hop, well balanced. 19.03.2017, buying it in Vienna, drinking it in Lausanne, Prélaz.

It’s nice, but the finish is a bit stale and - except for the ginger - boring.

330 ml bottle from BeerLovers.
Moderate gusher. Dark amber to copper, hazy body, with sime floaties and a big, fluffy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of gingerbread, dark bread, caramel, some other spices.
Tastes quite similar, with some more toast.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes spicy, toasty, moderate roasty, a bit sweet, a bit bready.
Good. The ginger is quite dominant, but still well integrated into the darker malt notes. Reminds me a bit of gingerbread. Nothing I would drink too often, but still nice stuff.

Dieses Bier habe ich 2012 einmal im Lokal getrunken, jetzt fand ich eine Flasche im Fachmarkt und will es neu verkosten: Es hat eine hübsche Bernsteinfarbe und feinporigen Schaum, der schnell zu einer dünnen, aber bleibenden Schicht auf dem Bier wird. Geschmacklich dominiert tatsächlich der Ingwer. Es wird dadurch aber nicht widerlich scharf, sondern erhält dadurch einen eigenen Charakter, der gut mit den frischen Bieraromen harmoniert. Da merkt man, dass sich der Braumeister etwas dabei gedacht hat. Nach dem Trinken stellt sich zudem eine angenehme Wärme im Hals und im Magen ein (Ingwereffekt halt). Ein etwas anderes Bier, das mir aufgrund seiner Aromen sehr gut gefällt.

Bottled(330ml) shared with Doggythedog at the Dombräu, Graz.
As Forstner Biere Lucky Ginger.
Amber/bronze coloured, huge quick disappearing beige head, nice and not too offensive ginger nose. Aroma of ginger with slight malty and sweet notes. Pleasant ginger notes in the finish. In comparison with other three or four ginger beers that I’ve tried, this one is very nice and drinkable.

Beer n...nah.... won’t bother to write that anymore. Bottle at the Dombräu, 4.8%, as Forstner Biere Lucky Ginger Poured a nice opaque darker red-brown colour...and it was a gusher... the enormous beige head did its best to get away from the bottle... The nose is nice, pure ginger, with maaaaybe some hints of diacetyl, but that might’ve been some smell wafting from the kitchen. The taste is pleasant, light, almost watery, but lovely. Ginger owns it, with some lemony hints. Damn good for a ginger beer.
