Nano Festival – Portland OR - 2010
Golden in color clear with a thin head. Light ginger in the aroma and the flavor was a mixed Pils flavor with the added ginger. This was decent and good for a gimmick brew.

Draft at the issaquah. Pours a crystal clear and very still bright medium amber. No head or lace. Big sweet candied ginger nose. Caramel and ginger mid palate. Mild sweet finish.

On tap at the Rogue Public House in San Francisco (listed as "Rogue Buckman Ginger"). Pours with a hazed golden body with minimal to no head. Aroma is strongly of ginger (both fresh and pickled). Light phenols and some malt sweetness. Pretty much all ginger. Flavors are ginger, candied ginger, medium sweetness. Caramel malt, even a bit syrupy. Grainy, some bitterness. Lively bubbles. Finishes a bit sweet and spicy.

Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Very sweet honey and ginger aroma and taste with a candy Ginger finish.

Draught. Poured cloudy yellow orange with thin head. Slight spicy and hoppy aroma. Pleasant flavour with the ginger only and edge, and not overwhelming as I feared. Lekker spice finish.
