500ml @ Ryan's. Appearance: clear dark champagne colour with a white head., Aroma: spicy orange and ginger as described. Taste: along the same lines, bubbly, kinda artificial. Spicy finish coming from ginger. Overall: well, it is a fun and refreshing drink, but is it a beer? Of course, it's not.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear dull gold with small white head. Ginger, mild orange peel, better than expected.

Bottle, tasting at Ryan's
Dull blond colour. It smells like candied orange, fruitcake. Weet, with a hint of ginger, and orange peel. Not too bad.

Orangey sort of ginger ale colour. Bubbly head. Smells like ginger ale. With a hint of orange. Spicy, some cinnamon, bit of orange, ginger ale...okay like at a ski lodge or some shit. Quite sweet. It has no value but I won't hate on it. Because I like ginger beer.
