On tap at the brewpub. A clear, golden beer with a finger-thick, dense off-white head. Ginger dominates the aroma without being intense. Malts and a little fruityness as well. The flavor is much the same, but lower on the fruits and higher on the ginger, without being as intense as Brøckhouse’s Sommer Saison. Thin, smooth mouthfeel. Nice, drinkable beer, but the ginger leaves it quite demanding. Especially in larger volumes I guess. (080912)

Draught. Low white and quickly disappearing head. Slightly hazy yellow to golden body. Lemon or is it lemongrass aroma with honey. Very sweet. Flavor light lemon metallic. Pretty watery, little hops bitternes, low carbonation, short aftertaste.

Tap @ Apollo, Cph.
Pours hazy, pale golden with a big, frothy, white head. Aroma has lots of ginger and lemongrass. Okay carbonation, fine lively mouthfeel. Flavour has a lot of ginger, but never really goes overboard on my tastebuds. It ends up with a slight peppery note, well-balanced by the citric bitterness. Would go incredibly well with thai food or sushi.

Hazy amber colour with little firm head. Aromas are dominated by a heavy ginger feeling - even with a bit of cinnamon. The mouthfeel is a bit dry with plenty of sweetness and lots of ginger. Medium body. Can get a bit too much, perhaps.

Draft. A slightly hazy light golden beer with a huge dense white head. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and citrus as well as light notes of butter. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw as well as lighter notes of butter and yeast, leading to a dry straw finish.

A hazy orange beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by ginger and yeast. The flavor is very sweet - too sweet for my liking - the flavor contains strong notes of ginger and yeast. The ginger sticks on the tongue long after You swallow the beer. It is too sweet and doesn’t have enough character, is too simple. But it is a nice thirstquencher.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours fully clear and with a small diminished white head. Aroma is solid citric and ginger spiced. Ginger flavoured towards light citric and spiced. Light sweetness showing through, yet clear citric ginger spiced into the finish.

Mild ginger flavour with a medium dryness and light wheaty base flavour with a mild caramel malt presence. Smooth bitterness and ginger flavour in the finish. Nice, crisp and refreshing with very little ginger dominans.

Draught at brewpub. Golden, small fizzy head. Lightly gingerey, clean malty nose. Gingerey, clean and fresh flavor. Light bodied, average carbonation. Hospital clean beer, but the ginger is balanced.

On tap at Apollo in Copenhagen. At 5.5%. Gold, thin white head. Definite ginger on aroma. I tend to like the ginger beers. This is ok, a pretty ok golden beer with some ginger infusion. Seems pretty integrated. Fine.

At the brewpub. Pale golden with brief, small, white head. Light body. Lemonade-ish with pretty much grassy ginger.
