Bottle. Pours light gold with a thin fizzy head. Sweet aroma, like ginger ale. Similar flavor, ginger ale sweetness with a little bit of typical pale lager flavors underneath.. Drinkable.

Bottle, sampled at Tank’s Taproom Spring Beerfest. Tasted more like a soda than anything else. Tell me again how this qualifies as beer?

Clear 12oz bottle. Ginger Ale colored. Aroma of Schwepp’s Ginger Ale Soda. Sugar sweet flavor. Sweeter than cola. Clearly not a beer. Low ABV? How is this good? Its a soda.

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.

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.

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.
