Cask at Ulysses NYC. Cloudy yellow color. Foamy, extremely bitter and hoppy with a slightly boozy taste. Not bad. A nice sipper ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at Tap 25. It pours a golden orange color with a white head. The aroma has fresh intense ginger root and lemon peel. The flavor is ginger and pine sol. Citrus peel finish. Interesting beer, and well executed for what it is.

Draft at the brewery. Gentle ginger aroma, mild ginger flavor up front, seems to mellow the hops, etc, of the normal big eye brew. Solid ginger front, great bitter and citrus hop finish, nice stuff

(Draught) Pours a clear golden orange body with a medium white head. Aroma of ginger, orange, grass, and herbs. Flavor of ginger, orange, florals, and pine.

Its all about the ginger! Clear amber pour with small white head.. Big ginger nose. Ginger and hop pepperiness. Light body. Clean Bitter finish. Super session.

Draft at ballast point with Linh. Pours an amber body with white lacing. Aroma is delicious ginger, tea, oranges and light hops. Mouthfeel is medium with notes of spicy ginger, tea leaves, mint, lemon and fresh floral hops. Ballast point has really proven their efficiency in pairing their base beers with the appropriate peppers. Wonderfully unique.
