New Beer Distributors, NY 330ml ($5.25): Pours a slightly amber red color with a very small head and no lacing. Aroma is licorice, ginger, sweet and sour sauce, and a hint of liqueur. Taste is sweet throughout, but lets the spice, especially the weird ginger hit make itself more manifest toward the middle and end. The ginger adds a tinge to the momentary hoppy bitterness. Funky little aftertaste. Not really my thing. Probably too sweet.

It pours a clear light amber and shows the same color body. A one inch puffy and foamy white head appears and gently dies to a centimeter that lasts for a good bit. Speckles are seen on the inside floating around (assuming that’s the ground ginger root). Bubbles gently drift and look like they are dodging the ginger root, interesting, this is really interesting stuff. The smell has the ginger in front with some nice hops slightly in the background. The taste is sweet yet spicy with the ginger and hops mixing with some light malts. The palate is about light to medium with some harshness on the tongue most likely due to the ginger. This is extremely drinkable. Overall, this is a good ginger beer with real ginger in it. I’d have it again.

0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This is a light blurry amber-brown one with a small islandy and sidesticking off-white top. Fresh ginger up front on the nose, some light grassy bitterness also with caramel and something light smoked. Not bad at all. The taste has traces of alcohol, but again it's the ginger that dominates in a subtle and really discreet way. Peppery and spicy also with a light warming finish. Soft to average on the carbonation and slick to oily on the mouthfeel. Nice in small amounts, but I'm not sure I could pour down pints on pints with this. 18.10.2012

Pours hazy dark amber with a small head.Nose shows ginger, biscuit-like malt along with a soft spicy note.More ginger in the flavours, but not dominant; there’s also some faint bready malt. A bit of herbal astringency shows later. The base beer doesn’t seem that great.
