Tap at the tasting room. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is ginger, mildly. Med minus body. Flavor is gingery/bread. Not a ginger cookie, but so much closer to that than of so many ginger beers. I really like it. If you like ginger beer, you should try this.

Bottle shared at the Hackobock tasting at Craft Islington. Cheers! It pours hazy golden with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, white bread, plenty of sweetness, green vegetables, grain, glue and marker pen. The taste is crisp, dry, white bread, plenty of glue, permanent marker pen, paint, cereal and some sweet apple. Medium body and moderate carbonation. That gluey vibe is really putting me off.

Tap at the tap room. Pours dark brown/tan head. Aroma is moderately dark treacle. Med body at least. Flavor is earthy dark malt/nut notes. Not too dry. Not very bitter. With some help from the heat it tastes very good tho.

Tap at the tasting room. Pours dark gold with an off-white head. Aroma hardly exists for me. Near med body. Flavor is sour/mild tropical fruit/astringent wood. A good sour but there is no "specific" flavor for me.

On draft at Tap 25. It pours a golden color with an off white head. The aroma has strong bready malt with hints of pineapple and stone fruit. Pale malt with some graham cracker on the nose. The flavor is mostly graham cracker malt with light hints of stone fruit. Low bitterness with a soft, lightly oily mouthy feel. Not sure how they managed to avoid strong hop character with the hops used here, but they did. Disappointing, but not really a bad beer.
