phukktifano (159), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 2, 2009 Pours yellow with a slight off white head. Aroma is sweet, spicy and ginger. Flavor is similar. yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Apr 1, 2009 Aroma is nice and citrusy, heavy wheat and some spice. A bit yeasty and nice. Allspice, cloves, toasted rinds. Good body. Taste is spicy initially, fast, upfront, sweet and rich. Light malts adn a bready. BREWMUSKCLES (1062), New Jersey, USA Mar 20, 2009 really not bad at all. bright sweet and yes, charming with good hop and spices that yes, are sumptuous. pleasant and demonstrative it is something different to give a try. sweet indeed but enjoyable it won’t set the world on fire but hey we don’t want that anyway! LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 8, 2009 Ugh....if this wasn’t the last beer in my fridge it would’ve been a drainpour. Aroma was actually pretty good. Ginger and other spices were very strong. Pour was an ugly dirty light brown with no bubbles or head. Taste was thin and nasty. Thin and watery with not much flavor but a disgusting anise/licorice aftertaste with some other spices peppering in or out. As I was typing this rating I cut my losses and dumped it out. JohnnyJ (1283), Carlsbad, California, USA Mar 5, 2009 This is a very strange beer. Pours a clear gold. Mostly ginger and clove, with some hints of fruit and sweet malt. Very thin and pissy lager like, but the flavor is spicy. I wouldn’t recommend it. glkaiser (1150), Seattle, Washington, USA Feb 17, 2009 Cloudy dark golden with big head. Odd mix of minty ginger and other spices is just plain odd. Bitterness doesn’t fit in. No. Just no. fidelis83 (709), Clinton, Iowa, USA Feb 17, 2009 Pours hazy but very pale gold with a tall foamy white head that sticks aroun d for 2 minutes or so then collapses pretty quickly. Aroma is strange, lots and lots of tropical, berry, and apple fruit notes, light toast, lots of guava, only a hint of citrus. Flavor is similarly odd, guava, golden delicious apple flesh, pear, a hint of grapefruit bitter, straw, rice, ginger snap, with an herbal hob and mulberry finish. All flavors seem somewhat muted (maybe from the lager yeast). Palate is thin dry and slightly watery, but refreshing and fairly crisp. Overall, more curious than good, but odd enough to win some points here. Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Feb 16, 2009 Bottle from utobeer. Alround rating: Strange beer, its like a belgian wit without the wheat or a belgian strong ale without the alc, its spicey and hot, yet thin and drinkable. Im not really sure what to say.
