Keg at Marine Hotel. It pours ever so slightly hazy yellow - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, clean, bready malt, cracker, biscuit, doughy, hint of candied lemon, lime, custard creams, melon, pear sherbet and a touch sharp apple. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, crushable, snappy, clean malt base, straw, cracker, biscuit, lemon - lime, floral accents, toasty grains, grass, mint and some orchard fruits with a drying finale. Light body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Some crispy and crushable. Quenching.

Can from Sainsbury's, Garthdee. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, zingy, bright lemony citrus, pleasingly fiery and tangy ginger root. The taste is initially, crisp, soft and smooth, bready, warming spice, pleasing ginger character, ginger snaps and clean lemon is there but more subdued than on aroma with a smoot, slightly spicy finale. Light body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. A ginger beer hat definitely feels like a real beer. Smooth a quaffable. Not too fiery. Nice.
