33cl can from Jumbo supermarket in Stein, Netherlands. F: medium, white, average retention. C: gold, hazy. A: ginger, citrus, orange, bit sugary, spicy, Fanta touch. T: medium malty base, light orange lemonade, ginger, spicy, mineral water, nice balanced bitterness, medium carbonation, bit watery but nice natural ginger feeling, enjoyable.

Hazy dark blond colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour packed with zingy ginger. Slightly sweet. Prickly. Decent body. Qualitatively good.

Hazy blond colour, white foam. Nose of ginger ale, sweet malt. Taste is sweet, ginger ale, fruity, light hoppy bitter.

Clear golden with floaties. Aroma is light lime and coriander with ginger ale and fruity malty base. Taste is fresh sour lime with light malty sweetness at first. Then a really powerful ginger spice is coming and annihilating any other flavour. Long spice finish. Kind of fun experiment but obviously not that great. Reminds me of a certain Vietnamese beer (rooster ginger).

(Bottle, De Spuyt, Amsterdam, 25 Aug 2022) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, spicy nose with ginger, bread, grass and citrus. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of ginger, bread, peaches, citrus, grass and a mild citric bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and refreshing, with a generous ginger touch. Quite nice.

Ginger-flavoured ale by this all-female microbrewery in Amsterdam, having made its way to the Albert Heijn supermarket shelves apparently. Very thick and foamy, egg-white, busily cobweb-lacing, very regular and dense, creamy head resting heavily on a misty apricot blonde beer with pale orange tinge. Aroma of very strong soapy and spicy ginger, not just ginger root and gari but ginger cookies and ginger ale as well, lemonade or even Fanta, ripe banana, brioche bread, ripe pear, freshly cut sweet red apple, fresh basil (probably just the ginger again), lime zest, melon, minerals, white pepper, field flowers. Sweet onset with sourish edge and ginger spiciness right on, banana, ripe pear, apple peel and some peach, fizzy carbonation with minerally effects lasting deep into the finish; slick cereally pale malt core, sweetish and a tad bready, deeply soaked in more sweet than spicy ginger, which has the upper hand all through. Lingering sparkling water minerality and 'yellow' fruitiness in the end, while the ginger does become spicy after all, though lacking the 'burn' I was expecting; more alarmingly, the finish also lacks hop bitterness (even if some aromatic citrusy zestiness is certainly there), so that apart from this peppery ginger spicy effect, not much 'body' is added and the whole ends somewhat watery. I have nothing against ginger-flavoured beers (though ginger may not be my personal favourite when it comes to beer flavourings), but this one feels rather sweet, thin and watery, due to a lack of hops; I guess these ladies thought the ginger was going to be enough and would solve it all, but a beer like this really needs hop bitterness too to lend body to the finish and support the ginger even in a ginger-dominated beer. Likeable enough if you are into ginger, but structurally rather feeble and poorly constructed so ending up a simplistic one-trick pony, I regret to say.

Bottle. Pours nearly clear golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of ginger, with notes of malt and touches of yeast and bread. Bitter flavour of ginger, with peppery and hoppy touches and malty and estery notes. Gingery and peppery aftertaste with notes of lozenges. Well, not the worst ginger beer I have had, but not really my idea of good beer, either.
