Ginger nose. Crystal clear amber, medium head. Cane sugar, ginger. Light body, easy carbonation, prickly heat. Tasty and makes a great mixer, but not very beery.

500 ml bottle, ABV 4.0%, from Joker Vatlandsvåg. Also sampled on numerous occasions previously. I still think this "beer" should be unrateable, but apparently it is. Best served over ice, this alcoholic soda has a nice ginger flavour and "burn" throughout. Golden colour, pours sparkling with a large white head. Sugar, fruit soda esters and ginger - a lot of it. A nice drink when I want something else than a beer.

Fél perc alatt elolvadó közepes hab, rezes-barnás szín. Gyömbéres, kissé borsos illat. Édes, gyömbéres, borsos, virágos ízek. Lecsengéskor megjön a gyömbér csípőssége is. Közepesen testes, erősen szénsavas, nem keserű. Nagyn hasonlít a Kinley gold-ra, inkább üdítős mint sörös, de kétségtelenül egy élénk, frisítő ital.
