Draft - Lots of raw ginger and some spice. Clear gold with a thin beige head. Raw ginger, light sweetness and some spice. Not bad for a ginger beer.

On tap at Northwest, pours a clear bronze with a tiny head. Aroma brings out ginger upfront, not much else. Flavour is gingery upfront - like pure raw ginger with a touch of sweetness. Delivers on its promise. Decent.

Amber, bright, big ginger nose, sweet, light ginger character, simple, like ginger beer.

12oz bottle pours with a crystal clear copper body that supports a weak dirty white head. The aroma offers up a load of ginger and flowery floral hops that run right up against Macy’s perfume counter stank. The taste is similar with flowery perfumy ginger that gets a little candied ginger to midway. For the upside this has some flavor to sweetness balance but ginger AND hugely floral? There’s nothing wrong with the but no thanks.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Aggie Liquor Fort Collins. Pours a fairly clear dark orange appearance with a tan head. Jesus, the aroma is heavy ginger along with a bit of citrus and floral notes. Decent body. A touch sweet, potpourri, ginger, lemon, lavender flavor. I don’t really like ginger beers but I guess this one is ok.

Hazy amber beer. Dry palate. Fresh tasting ginger but it’s somewhat diluted and there is nothing much else going on. A very over dry finish with a trace of banana.

Thanks to goodzoid10 for sending this one. pours golden, white head. aroma, definitely some nice ginger spices along with a mild touch of orange zest. flavors, light mouthfeel, ginger comes across nicely and not too overpowering for this 5abv beer. Hints of hops and the orange adds a nice sweet tropical note. Light and refreshing.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours slightly hazy light amber with a fluffy two finger head. Aroma is ginger! Near medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is ginger, goes a bit bland until the next swig. Pretty good stuff. Wish I had sushi!

From Skyview. I am against the grain on this beer. I liked it and this is the sort of experimentation that should be encouraged. Lots of sweet and spicy ginger in the aroma and flavor, just like the name would make you think. Light hops. Copper color. Good and refreshing.
