Ungstrup (23918) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 29, 2003
A light amber beer with a fine head. The special character of this beer reveals itself in the aroma, which is a weird spicy aroma. The flavor is sweet and weird with notes of ginger, though not pronounced. The flavor lingers on the lips.

Papsoe (22946) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - NOV 22, 2005
(Bottle 50 cl) Reddish golden with a small head. The ginger really stands out - sharp and marked - but is soothed somewhat by sugars. Quite an unusual experience. 071200

yespr (22161) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - MAY 12, 2008
50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a slowly collapsing white head. Spiced aroma of - ginger....why? Flavour is initially sweet and somehow that suites the ginger well - nicely balanced yet with a distinct ginger bite/sharpness into the far finish with a light perfumery feel. Very unusual yet by far the best ginger spiced beer I’ve had.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - NOV 23, 2004
Bottle. Sugar/candy aroma with some ginger. Colour is slightly darker than golden. White head, quickly gone. Very sweet flavour which goes into a tiny slight burning sensation with some ginger flavour and ends again with some sweetness. I like ginger in beer, but this one is too sweet and not very balanced.

fiulijn (10383) - Como, ITALY - MAY 22, 2004
Golden color. Light herbal aroma and flavor, a bit malty, maybe lemony, strange and not convincing.
