Quaffed this interesting new beer at C’est What to the sonic stylings of Mr. Something Something, an awesome band playing some funky tunes. Decent white head on an amber body. Aroma is malty ginger and mellow enough to be largely drowned out by the background odour of the pub. Starts out with a startlingly strong sweet gingerbread flavour and gives way to a slight bitterness that is not quite up to supporting the ginger, even though the ginger has mellowed from first sup. The initial shock of the ginger fades quickly. Bartender advised that they are contemplating ramping up the ginger content. A unique new product from Robinsons, and while I am pleased to see them experimenting, this one is not my cup of tea.

Mar 22, 2005 This is ginger ale, without too much carbonation. Somewhat ginger aroma and taste, was hoping for some sort of bite I get from Jamaican style ginger beer. Clean your palate but if I must have soda, let it be soda. Thin mouthfeel.

Nov 29, 2004 Light amber, medium carbonation, pour small but thick head. Aroma of honey, sweet malt and touch of ginger. Ginger is more pronounced in flavour . This is medium bodied beer . Light bitter finish . Worked nice . Glad to see decent ginger beer.

Oct 9, 2004 I like Giner. I like Beer. I didn’t really like this ginger beer however. C’est What has long been one of my favourite haunts, so I will always praise the establishment and the fact that they will experiment. Sadly I found this one to be quite routine. Watery amber colour with very thin head. Ginger difficult to detect but it’s in there amongst the hops and spice. Moderately sweet malts and a crisp dry finish.

Oct 3, 2004 Draught. Orange pour. Subtle spicy aroma - there’s ginger in there for sure. Kudos on getting the ginger to show its face in the taste as well - pity it is in a bit of a watery bland body, although there is a good crispness to the whole package. Ok.

Jul 6, 2004 Copper colour with a thin white head. The ginger aroma is fairly pronounced at a distance, but not so much up close - more earthy hops and Sprite. The flavour starts out malty, slightly cake-like. Towards the finish is turns slightly bitter with a hint of ginger late. Not bad actually - it has a refreshing crispness.

Jul 4, 2004 Spicey, light aroma Woody, light brown. Lots of zip that I wouldn’t have identified as ginger if I hadn’t known it. Fairly bittered, crisp, a bit malty. Medium light body on a bitter finish.
