Pours dark amber with a fading head.Nose shows heavy ginger and some honey. Smells like ginger bread.Honey and ginger as flavours too. Not bad but a bit too sweet with no balancing bitterness.Body feels watery.

Bottle. Orangish brown with a soft drink-like that fizzes away to nothing in a few seconds. Aroma of mature ginger, brown sugar, kaffir lime leaves. Nice. Then it’s a letdown. Thin and flat mouthfeel. Very slight sweetness, only a little ginger, some citrus. And then at the finish, it’s pleasant again - dry, mild ginger, gentle citrus. It’s quite good apart from when you’re actually drinking it.

(bottle) Clear amber, no head. Aroma has gentle ginger notes with a hint of candy. Medium body, light carbonation. The flavour is disappointingly bland. There’s quite a nice start balancing citrusy tang, honey and hints of ginger, but it falls away to a bready vaguely gingery flat middle and finish. Overall it’s bland - unexciting but inoffensive.

From a 330ml bottle on 12/7/2012. Pours a clear golden with a medium head which disappears quickly. Smells like ginger beer. Tastes like ginger beer. Unfortunately, I don’t much like ginger beer. On a positive note, at least it’s not sickly sweet like the soft drink. Still, a quite disappointing release after their splendid Hoppy Hefe.
