Bottle from D Byrne & Co, Clitheroe. Ginger aroma and taste, but this can also feel somewhat overbearing after a while.

Bottle from Brdr. Schmidt. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich ginger, so if you dont like that - keep away because there is lots of it. There is also some malt, notes of flowers and hops.

Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, London. Pours clear, red-gold with a fine, foamy head. Light caramel, smokey peat and ham in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with cured honey ham, smoked peat, wood. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lasting smokey peat on the finish with yet more cured ham, light honey and caramel. Very nice beer. One of the better British-made ’smoked’ beers I’ve had.

330 ml sample bottle, a gift, as Little Valley Organic Python IPA. Brew #207, BB date 19.06. 2011. ABV is 6.0%. Cloudy brownish golden colour, large white head. Strong lemony and acidic / vinegary aroma, also hints of wild yeast / farmhouse. The flavour is very acidic, lemony and vinegary, with a sharp hoppy biiterness in the finish. This is the second beer past its BB date I’ve had from Little Valley, they have both gone sour. Apparently you should not even CONSIDER drinking their beers if they are past their BB date. Will rerate if I can find a fresh bottle.

Rerate No.2, 500 ml bottle as Little Valley Radical Roots, Light & Gingery Pale Ale, from Meny Løren. ABV is 4.0%. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate grainy aroma, a hint of ginger. Light bodied. Medium dry flavour with notes of ginger and moderate earthy hops. Rerate No. 1, 500 ml bottle, from Bris Ølutsalg, Jørpeland. ABV is 4.0%. Clear deep golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of malts and ginger. The flavour is moderately malty but not sweet, with distinct notes of ginger, also fairly distinct bittering hops. And it is NOT very sour / infected! Ginger warmth in the aftertaste / throatfeel. I'm upping the score quite a bit. Original rating: 500 ml bottle (a gift), as Little Valley Organic Bottle Conditioned Ginger Pale Ale. And yes, it is \"fairtrade\" and vegan - and \"CAMRA says this is real ale\". My oh my - you don’t even have to drink it. BUYING it is apparently enough to ensure your passage through the pearly gates. ABV is 4.0%. \"Best before\" February 2010 - that might explain a lot. Cloudy golden colour, large to moderate white head. Strong aroma of ginger, sweetish fruity and sugary notes. The flavour is really sour, lemony and acidic from the first to the last sip (yes, I mean really SOUR - probably far more than intended by the brewer), with a moderate ginger burn. Dryish finish. Probably infected - certainly not something I would pay good money for. But I am a polite fellow - somehow I managed to finish the bottle.

500ml bottle @ Ravintola Hiili, Kuopio
Pours dark orange with a tiny white head. Aroma has notes of ginger, light spices, malts and caramel. Taste is slightly malty with some notes of ginger, spices, caramel and light hops. Finish is slightly fruity and spicy. Okay, but a bit unbalanced.

50cl bottle from CM Jumbo. Poured slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is dominated by ginger, some sweet maltiness as well. Flavor similar, strong ginger flavor , quite bitter as well. Burning finish. I like ginger in food, but in this beer it was too much.
