| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Mar 15, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, dull, pale gold body with a thin, white head.
Smell: Ginger aroma. As with the previous Carib Lime, it comes across as highly artificial and highly unpleasant.
Taste: Grimace-inducing sweetness with a ginger flavor. Slight burn on the tongue from the ginger (or my taste buds are self-destructing). No real malt or hops detectable -- basically, it’s just a malternative. Sweet finish that lasts and lasts.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. There’s a sticky sugary quality to the mouthfeel, much like a cheap store brand soda.
Drinkability: Difficult to finish. AVOID. SSSteve (2133), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 27, 2008 Copper color, no real head or much carbonation. Smells just like ginger ale soda. Tastes just like ginger ale. Weird. As a flavored beverage, though, not bad. nick76 (2720), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 18, 2008 The aroma is like you would imagine a ginger ale would smell like if it were mixed with a cheap Caribbean lager. There is definitely ginger as well as skunky corn malt and latex. The appearance is almost clear but pale gold. .The flavor is more like a ginger ale than a beer but there is definitely some lager in there. The palate is thin and prickly. The finish is definitely malt with a sweet chemical cleanness and ginger. Overall a really strange beer.
