Bottle. Amber color with quite a bit of carbonation, a little bit of haze and a quickly fleeting head. Aromas are fairly beer-like, and maybe I can smell some ginger (although it might just be that I’m trying too hard.) As it has sat for a minute the ginger picks up and becomes more detectable. Flavor starts off fairly nice and then goes horrendously wrong, but it’s in those first fractions of a second that I find myself thinking this is nice... caramel malt body, a little bit of a hops presence. Then I get hit by a sweet and medicinal flavor that ruins it for me.

This beer is an amber/orange color with a thin white head that does not last long. Aroma of sweet ginger and wheat. Light-bodied and spicy with a good amount of ginger flavor. Some malt and wheat in the background as well. More spiciness in the finish, again with ginger dominating. There is a touch of hops in the aftertaste too. The beer seems one-dimensional, although there is just enough going on behind the scenes to keep it from being below average.

I have had this beer a couple of times. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange color with a medium sized orange-white head. The aroma is hot and spicy with a tangy citrus undertone. The flavor is strong hot candied ginger. The ginger overwhelms any actual "beer" like flavor. The finish is hot and spicy. Not terrible but quite one sided.

Hazy orange body, thin off-white/buff head. Aroma of ginger, spicy, earthy, and bready. Ginger definitely defines the palate but it is not overpowering. Unfortunately, the rather light, earthy, bready body does not do much to offset or even enhance the ginger spicing. That said, this beer is certainly tolerable, but distinctively average.

2005 bottle consumed on 7/1/2005 with SuIIy. Deep pencil yellow/candied pineapple colored body. Thick and cloudy looking, completely opaque and unfiltered. Fizzy white head recedes quickly to ring, but tons of lacing is left on the glass. Aroma is full on ginger. Not a lot gets around the ginger, though the ginger smells fresh and juicy. Flavor of ginger and vanilla, up front, with a bit of wheat sour/dryness. Light banana chips notes. Low carbonation, lazy bubbles burst forth on to the surface and pleasure the tongue quite nicely. Some candied pineapple flavor on the end, sort of a mix of the ginger and sweet malt. Touches of sourness on the finish, as well. The mouthfeel is quite interesting, with a chewy or perhaps, gummy sort of texture. Well-malted, with ginger and vanilla beans lingering on.

Orange colour with hints of a golden hue. Head developed on the pour but very quickly dissolved. Definate orange and ginger smell comes from the beer. The taste is very gingery but not overwhelmingly so. The aftertaste leaves a little to desire, but all-in-all, a good beer that is pretty different than any other beer i've had. Definately one to try if you like ginger or if you are looking for a 'different' summer beer. I bought this in a bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Tastes almost like a witbier, just with ginger replacing the citrus. Mildly spicy. Thin bodied. It leaves a tingling sensation on the tongue, much like the fresh ginger you may nip while eating sushi. An original beer, albeit a gimick product lacking in anything particularly interesting.
