330ml bottle from Micro Beer Crate webshop. Near clear gold with a nice root ginger aroma, quite sweet. Taste has that big hit of ginger, nice punch of heat without it being overbearing, very light malt background, some lemon notes. Nice.

Bottle from Hogs Back shop. I'm not a fan of ginger but this is a new brewery tick... a strong aroma of the root. Very light gold. Almost clear. Very thin and patchy head of small translucent bubbles. Sweet with a sour edge. Light bodied. Thin. Average carbonation.. Extremely astringent finish. It's a fiery ginger beer so is a success on that basis.

Bottle from Oddbins, London Bridge. Pours hazy yellow ginger colour with a short lasting white head. Aroma of root ginger, citrus, grass and floral notes. Medium sweetness. Light body, slight oily and watery texture, average carbonation. Started off very fiery, but became sweeter, more mellow and more lemony as the initial heat from the ginger subsided. Pretty good overall.

330ml bottle. Murky, yellow-ish, golden colour with small, frothy, diminishing, white head. Spicy, slightly citrusy aroma, notes of ginger, a touch of lemon. Taste is initially fresh citrusy and slightly spicy, hints of lemon and ginger, sweet and sugary middle part with fruity hints of orange adn pineapple juice, heavy peppery spicy finish; becomes more homogeneous with time. Shaking, arousing, free of any soapiness - a brave and successful undertaking that will probably evoke dichotomic reactions.

Bottle from Oddbins. Appearance - looks like lemonade but slightly darker. Nose - ginger beer but is there any beer in this? No malt, methinks! Taste - a good healthy burn of ginger up front then that's it. Long lingering ginger finish. Palate - light bodied with a long dry middle and finish. Overall - is this actually a beer? I get the ginger but is there malt in it?
