Bottle (from Bitter Virtuem, BBJun 07). Gold Easily the best of the Atlantic beers with masses of spicy ginger in the nose and mouth, Idris eat your heart out. Theres not really a whole lot else going on here, other than a little fruit and hop, but the ginger is strong enough to carry it,.

Nose is lemon and kiwifruit, and of course ginger. Pours a slightly cloudy gold. Flavour is fresh and full of ginger - loads of it. This is good for me, as I like ginger, and so this is one of the few herbals I can appreciate.

Bottle. Golden colour with a sparse white head. Aroma is dominated by the ginger, but I think its fairly hoppy as well. Taste is dominated by the ginger again. This is not, as the bottle says "subtly spiced with ginger", but tastes more a halfway house on the road to ginger ale. Not bad if you like ginger.
