Draught at the brewpub. Pale yellow, no head. Citric gingery nose. Sweet and sour with lots of lemon and lots of ginger. Medium bodied. No bitterness. Like most ginger beers it’s quite aggressive, and doesn’t work as a quencher.

Drat at the brewpub. A hazy yellow beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of ginger, but also a light spicy note - of other spices than ginger. The flavor is sweet with very strong notes of ginger - too much for me, though I usually like ginger beers, and also very spicy.

Draught at Clockwork, Glasgow. Gold, lasting white head. It’s a fairly standard bitter, some bleach which pulls the score down. Not fantastic.
