Bottle from ASDA. Cloudy golden colour with a lively, yet short-lived, white head. Aroma of ginger, yeast and oranges. Flavour had ginger and other spices, a herbal touch and a short dry finish. Ok, but a bit subdued for this type of beer.

Cask Handpump at the Bhurtpore Inn, Aston 12/07/2007 Fruity and slightly sour aroma. Golden coloured fruity sweet on the palate and wheaty. Crisp and slightly dry finish.

Bottle, 330ml. A cloudy golden colour with a large fizzy head. Aroma is strong with yeast, hops, banana and caramel. Taste is disappointing: a little hoppy, some yeast, banana and ginger. Fairly sweet and highly carbonated. A little watery in the finish. With half the carbonation, this might be a decent brew.

330ml bottle from a Torquay supermarket. A pale amber beer, light and thirst-quenching. Very yeasty, giving character to the beer. Prickly carbonation. Good ginger and spice notes lift this above an average lager type beer.

Bottled. A golden coloured beer with a thin scum of beige head. The aroma has a large amount of ginger as well as cleaning products. The ginger in the taste is too harsh, and I like ginger in a beer. Unbalanced.
