Has a detergenty ginger aroma, cloudy gold body with a bit of foam. Flavour is mediocre ginger with some odd wheat grain notes. Full enough on the mouth. Rather meh. --- Beer merged from original tick of French Ginger on 02 Nov 2019 at 16:00 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4. Original review text: Has medium ginger aroma akin to floor cleaner, there's weak foggish yellow body and really modest foam. Flavour is harsh ginger and nothing else. The ginger still somehow manages to be watery. This is bad and boring.

Ginger on the nose. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Ginger and and nice light body. Solid.

Dull blonde. Not much head. Lots of ginger on the nose, and very gingery on the palate. Thin. Lacks any sort of malt depth. Nothing to carry the ginger, so it's just ginger. The problem, of course, is that ginger loves sugar, and needs it to be at its best.

On tap at 12 Kings (not at the brewery - I'm not that desperate), pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rather intense spicy ginger, with some spicy yeast buried. Flavour is gingery and floral, with a rather soapy character and spicy ginger. Not sure what prompted this concoction. It's not terrible, but not overly pleasant either.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond colour. Strong ginger aroma that tends to feel like detergent; the ginger flavour is a bit less strong; it's dry, fresh, peppery.
If a ginger Saison is needed, well this is not too bad.
