Bottle. Cloudy gold in color. Not a bad beer, just average. The ginger, citrus comes through in both aroma and flavor.

Bottle. No particular aroma. Looks like lemonade mixed with iced tea. Pour has lots of sediment on the bottom. Not really overwhelming on the spiced end with the taste but a tad honey sweet. Decent co2. Yes, fairly mild beer of a different genre. Goes down goodly. Well balanced with the ginger but I don’t feel any heat. Better than expected.

Bottle. Intense ginger, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet ginger, wheat malt, and very lightly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Delivers on the ginger - pleasant.

Bottle: Hazed, yellow-amber with a thin white head and floaties. Ginger, graham cracker aroma. Taste is fairly mild ginger....really no heat....honey, wheat malt.... Ok, but it’s a bit watery and a little weak all around.

Bottle. A- Ginger, subtle lemon, subtle honey. A- Amber color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Ginger. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Shocking;y (no pun intended), this is actually one of the best ginger forward beers I’ve had. The ginger was certainly the main point but was not too spicy or overbearing. Complimented by a touch of honey and lemon. Drinks just fine.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy gold with a slight white head. Aroma is ginger. So much ginger nothing else comes through. Med minus body. Flavor is ginger. Could be a touch of citrus. Wheat seems to be present. This is a ginger beer. I like ginger. I like this beer.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 10/7/2016. Pours very hazy deep golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big ginger, lemon, orange zest, pear, apple, coriander, pepper, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of ginger, lemon, orange zest, pear, apple, coriander, pepper, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, bread, light honey, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness and yeast/ginger spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of ginger, lemon, orange zest, pear, apple, coriander, pepper, clove, wheat, biscuit, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and pale malt flavors; with a good malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%; but there is a bit of building ginger heat through the glass on the finish. Overall this is a good spiced witbier style. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and pale malt flavors; very smooth and fairly refreshing to drink. The aromas were pretty big on the ginger notes; but the flavors were much more balanced. Tasted like a standard witbier with the ginger complimenting the base style. A nicely enjoyable offering.
