Pours a rich brown with a tinge of red from a bottle, thick white head that stays for quite a while. Aroma is a treacly ginger, flavor is similar with a fair amount of citrus. A little cloying. Okay beer.

Hitachino Nest real Ginger Ale 8% Clear Amber with a light beige head. It’s got a fruity ginger ale aroma. The taste surprised me with fruity biscuits, syrupy sweetness and a milder than anticipated ginger flavor.

Bottle, small stable creamy head, clear copper color, aroma of ginger spice caramel and some candy, flavor of caramel and ginger with a coarse grapefruit bitterness. The base beer is much too malty and heavy doesn’t blend with the ginger and spice. Not a good beer.

Piana spora i trwala kolor miedziany metnisty dosc ciemny. Zapach imbiru limonki i nieco aloesu. W smaku przyprawowe lekko ostrawe, imbir pieprz, kurkuma i inne ostre przyprawy. Przy tym bardzo slodowe i slodkawe. Chmielenie lekkie i ginie na tle slodowosci. Ogolnie smaczne i wyraziste i bardzo przyprawowe Ale

Appearance- copper, murky, with a fast-disappearing foamy beige head. Aroma- caramel, malty, brown bread, honey glazed fruits, cherry cake, ginger, hoppy hints, marzipan. Taste- fruitcake, orange peel, almond hints, sugary raisin, the ginger is nicely understated. Hints of cloves, cinnamon and other spices. Nicely balanced and complex ale.

Sample at SBWF 2015. Dark golden with a white head. A lot of ginger both in the aroma and taste. Also some citrus, light malt and bread. The body was around medium. An ok one.
