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.

Colour is light-foxy, but with a pinkish shine, slightly hazy. Medium-thick head, white (with again a pinkish shine) and slowly disappearing. Chalky and spicy nose (which spices I don't know, I only heard of two of them). I am thinking of a subdued raspberry nose - the mulberries probably. Taste: this IS special. Exotic wood - exotic spices - exotic fruits? Woody, certainly. There are some malts underneath, and a bitterness - but no hops discernible. No specific spice really emerges, which is good, but the overall finish is a bit overpowering. Medium-bodied. Sourish-refreshing, but I don't think this could ever figure as a session ale. No new aftertaste. This beer is brewed at De Graal brewery by and for a local beerconsumers branch, BLES from Zottegem. The name is a Flemish wordplay - it sounds Chinese, but is a Flemish version of "Cheers".

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.

Dark golden, even, tickk white head. Sweet, sugar candi, peppery and pumpkin in the nose. Taste rather neutral, underlying sweetness/malt; superficial bitterness but not hops, more vegetable bitter. Again something spicey, even hint of smoked. Mouthfeel quite dry, a bit thin. Spicey bitterness keeps till the end, medium-long. Rather unremarkable, but no real faults. Quite OK for a beginning brewer.
