Light amber, medium carbonation, pour small but thick head. Aroma of honey, sweet malt and touch of ginger. Ginger is more pronounced in flavour . This is medium bodied beer . Light bitter finish . Worked nice . Glad to see decent ginger beer.

decent taste, but not much of it. that seems to be the story of this beer. aroma is good but mysteriously faint. quite thin

This is ginger ale, without too much carbonation. Somewhat ginger aroma and taste, was hoping for some sort of bite I get from Jamaican style ginger beer. Clean your palate but if I must have soda, let it be soda. Thin mouthfeel.

I like Giner. I like Beer. I didn’t really like this ginger beer however. C’est What has long been one of my favourite haunts, so I will always praise the establishment and the fact that they will experiment. Sadly I found this one to be quite routine. Watery amber colour with very thin head. Ginger difficult to detect but it’s in there amongst the hops and spice. Moderately sweet malts and a crisp dry finish.

Draught. Orange pour. Subtle spicy aroma - there’s ginger in there for sure. Kudos on getting the ginger to show its face in the taste as well - pity it is in a bit of a watery bland body, although there is a good crispness to the whole package. Ok.

Clear copper w/ thin, frothy white head. Faint aroma of ginger & hops. Medium-light, slightly watery feel. Flavour of mild ginger & sweet malt. Moderately bitter, dry finish.

Copper colour with a thin white head. The ginger aroma is fairly pronounced at a distance, but not so much up close - more earthy hops and Sprite. The flavour starts out malty, slightly cake-like. Towards the finish is turns slightly bitter with a hint of ginger late. Not bad actually - it has a refreshing crispness.

Spicey, light aroma Woody, light brown. Lots of zip that I wouldn’t have identified as ginger if I hadn’t known it. Fairly bittered, crisp, a bit malty. Medium light body on a bitter finish.

Pours a clear copper red with a frothed up thick creamy head that lasts for quite a long time. Smells of ginger (what a shock) and hops. At first, the ginger is most prominent, but after a while, the hops really seem to come out in the aroma. Has a creamy and slick mouthfeel with very low carbonation. Tastes of mild ginger (not enough as far as I’m concerned, I was disapointed) which tickles the tongue. Has a touch of honey and a light malted tone. The finish is bitter and over the course of the drink it collects into something more than you’d expect. The aftertaste grows and the ginger warms it. Okay, but, just an interesting beer.

Faint aroma of ginger and malt, amber/copper, small vanilla custard head, nice lace. Stale malt taste at first, a fruity throat stinging after effect, rather than flavour, sourish. Light bodied, dry finish. At least they keep trying new things.
