Tap at brewery. Not bad. Aroma of ginger, but also some sulfur. Taste is sweet and tart. Palate is oily, and medium bodied. Yellow, cloudy, with a thin white head.

...bottle from the brewery. I could not believe how sweet this was, it just did not taste right at all. My mouth was taken off guard by the first swig. It had some ginger on the nose, and in the flavor, but, it was wayy too thick, sugary, I don’t even know. I wouldn’t have this ever again for any reason. I finished it, but hey, when you’re all the way out there, you have to try one out in the middle of burgerton, or whereever it was. Not good.

Bit like Twenty 20 cricket really - hard to take seriously. Very weird head action - heaps of fizz upon pouring that disolves at record pace. Light orange / apricot in colour. Sweet soft drink nose, heapys of sugary notes. Palate is mega sweet and its very hard to pick the alcohol. Masses of sugar sweetness although to be fair there is some well defined ginger flavours. Too sweet to be of much use to anyone.

Lemon/orange coloured body with a white head that tried to hang around the edges. Some ginger on the nose along with some off lemon. The sweetest of the 4 ginger beers that I tried together, not really refreshing enough for me, too sugary and too heavy. No I couldn’t really finish it.

I didn't know to expect when I tried this. I guess I waslooking for an ale that had a hint of ginger flavour to it. Wrong! It is sickly sweet and I could only have two mouthfuls before pouring the rest down the sink. Awful.

A bit wrong. I'm not much of a fan of ginger beers and this was done pretty poorly. It's like something your grandma would give you. Ihad weird leger yeasty-like stuff floating in it too.

even by australian ginger beer standards, this is very sweet. lemonade with extra sugar and some ginger lollies. just too sweet to be refreshing
