Hazy blond color. Triple with an almost fruity aroma. Strong body, leaning on the sweet side, with notes of muscadel; still some fruitness in the finish. Interesting and original.

A slightly unclear dark yellow beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with nice ginger notes. The flavor is a round soft ginger flavor - really a great flavor for a ginger beer. It also has a nice palate. The best ginger beer I've ever had.

Bottled. Orange and cloudy with a wealth of small floaters. Light ginger aroma. Sweet and malty, and IMO a good balance between the sugar, the malt and the ginger. Original and complex interplay between malt and spices.

Dark blond. Flimsy head, rather stable however. Nose: first feta-herbs, then outspoken ginger, like preserved (Japanese sushi-)ginger. Some candi-sugar. Taste gives ginger again. Retronasal very outspoken liquorice flavour, some tart bitterness overlying on malts. Mouthfeel is rather thin, but the spiceyness beefs it up. Aftertaste: the ginger keeps overpowering. Overall not bad - it's a real try at something different.

Blond, with medium bubbles; spicy yet bland aroma; malty first, then lightly gingery, and a little plasicy.
