Tap. Spicy ginger nose. Milky green, no head-looks like a lime based drink. Bright ginger notes, lime and sugars, light spicy finish. Chewy medium light body. Nice

330ml can into schooner glass. Aroma of ginger and cooked vegetables. Looks like creek water with a few bubbles. No head. Tastes good though! Smooth ginger/citric taste with peppery aftertaste. Would make a wicked ’Dark and Stormy’.

Pours cloudy pale, pale, straw, no head (or at least it faded in a split second.)Nose shows lots of sugary ginger (like crystallised ginger) with little else really. Maybe some lemon.Flavours pretty similar, ginger and lemon with an unpleasant carbonic bite later.Feels a little watery. Too much ginger!

(bottle) Cloudy very pale amber / ginger (rather like ginger beer of the soda variety) with no head. The aroma is intense ginger and quite pleasant: didn’t seem artificial and had some earthy / ginseng notes to it. The palate was just like a fizzy soda. The flavour was dominated by acidity; not an acidity with a strong flavour (such as lemons) but causing discomfort under the tongue and in the back of the nose. The ginger taste is also pretty intense. It wasn’t too sweet like many ginger beers of this style. However, overall, even though I am a fan of ginger beers, I would have to say this was not very nice. It is too full on and lacks finesse and balance. On the positive side it isn’t just a fizzy sugar-water alcopop - they have made an interesting, different, intense and challenging drink. (I wonder whether this is actually a beer brewed from malted grain.)
