This is the ginger beer "Special Reserve Summer Ale". Pale colour. Sweet, a little bit gingery, somewhat, and with not much character.

Pours deep amber with a fading head.Nose shows caramel, toasty malt and soft floral hops. Not too bad, a little faint though.Flavours introduce ginger and astringent lemon to the mix, ruining what could have been a pleasant, malty beer.Needs more carbonation.

(On tap) Clear, golden with a lightly creamy, white head leaving some laces. Sweetish aroma of citrus and and cinnamon. Medium body with a distinct honey sweetness and a discreet touch of cinnamon. Almost no bitterness. 020208
