Hi. This beer tastes exactly like a Moscow Mule. Like, exactly, people. That’s really all we need to say. It’s a slam dunk of real lime and excessive ginger.

Can from Livonia Liquor.l Pours a murky orange with a full two fingers of off-white head. Classic Moscow Mule nose with big ginger and lime aromas. Spicy ginger on the palate with lime juice underneath. Dry and spicy finish. This is fun!

12oz bottle looks like iced tea in my glass. Maybe a sparkling Arnold Palmer. Nose is all ginger and lime. Fresh, punchy ginger. Flavor is like a half and half that got raw ginger mixed in. Flabby finish.

Backlog. Hazy orange pour. It’s sweet and fruity with salt, lime, and lots of ginger. Tasty and the ginger makes it seem more warming in a way.

Bottle. Murky, dingy orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Sweet nose with ginger and lime. Body sweet and sugary with pungent ginger and tangy lime, spritzy and easy-to-drink. Reminded me quite a bit of their Key Lime Pie beer.

12oz bottle. In terms of capturing the Moscow Mule essence...it nails it. Big ginger notes, miniscule lime. Kind of a simplistic body, but really does good job with the flavor. Unique offering for sure.

Bottle. Ginger, lime, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet ginger, lime, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Light body, low carbonation. Smells pretty good but the flavor is a let-down.

Light copper and golden honey coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of pure limes, ginger root, powdered ginger and a little dose of pure caster sugar - very pungent smelling and not really like a beer that i’ve ever had - just like a ’moscow mule. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong lime, grass and especially ginger and spice flavours show up front and centre with a touch of sweetness near the end and some just cut ginger root along with some vinegar. Aftertaste shows some mellow malt, a touch of yeast and a heavy bit of ginger and limes with a noticeable sweetness near the end. Overall, a decent beer that shows a lot of a ’moscow mule’ character, that was exactly what was expected, but didn’t work out so well compared to beers in general, but decent for a herb/spice, which is exactly what this should be categorised as. Still worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Meijer in Woodhaven, Michigan on 08-December-2016 for US$16,99/twelve pack, sampled at home in Washington on 20-April-2017.
