No great condition either. I tend to like ginger beers, but this one is awful. Almost undrinkable. Ginger lemon shandy. Taste of stale dust. Pretty poor. hughie (3091), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England

Taste is also unpleasantly gingery with a background of Band Aid and proprietory medicines. Foul. cgarvieuk (4277), Edinburgh, Scotland

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 24, 2006 Aroma is powdered ginger and hopy. Taste is reasonably balanced though shifting to the hopy side, maybe due to a little of the ginger still playing around. RichardGretton (3167), Leicestershire, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 4, 2005 Plain light brown beer with a fizzy and slightly ginger aroma. The flavour is again gingery, but light and watery. Overall the beer tastes like a watery ginger ale, I have to ask why make this beer? DeepBlack (387), Derby, Derbyshire, England
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 20, 2005 Cask conditioned & on Handpump at the Derby CAMRA winter beer festival on 10/02/05.
Deep rich brown colour.
Strong fruit syrup flavours. The ginger comes over more in the aroma than the taste.
Dry lingering aftertaste.
Very nice, but would get a bit much if you drank lots...
