3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 eczematic (1304) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - APR 5, 2003
Tastes exactly like motelpogo's ginger Old that he made last year - i.e. pretty tame dark ale with heaps of fresh zingy ginger. Nothing complex about it, just straightforward, honest and tasty.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Ungstrup (26243) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - MAR 25, 2003
A dark nutbrown beer with no head. The aroma is a powerful ginger with some sweetness. The flavor is also totally dominated by the ginger combined with some sweetness. Not my type of beer - I've tried ginger beers better than this one.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 winkle (466) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - JAN 21, 2003
Small head on such a big flavoured beer. Spicey aroma, dark body, roasted malt flavours, bitter finish. Must try it again when more sober to appreciate it better.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Nesta13 (205) - AUSTRALIA - DEC 27, 2002
Nice dark body with decent (albiet thin) head - although suffers slightly from looking a bit like coke. Nice, malty Enlgish-style aroma with just a hint of ginger. Big ginger flavours once the inital roasty bitterness has subsided followed by some spicey notes. This beer feels very good in the mouth and tickles evey tastebud - good lingering bitters. A very nice beer but also very hard to rate because it’s just so different. Worth a try for sure.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 radiomgb (2143) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 9, 2002
Deep amber in colour. Aroma was sweet, malty, hints of ginger. Roasted malt, ginger flavours. Slightly dry, malt bitterness finish.
2.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20 CapFlu (4010) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 9, 2002
Definite ginger and spice flavours. Rather odd ale, pours with next to no head. Very dark with a lasting bitterness on the roof of your mouth.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Cartoonkhaki (1179) - Brantford, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 8, 2002
As soon as I opened this beer I knew it was different. The smell got me right away. It was ginger. I happen to like ginger so this beer went down well with me. Nice spicy flavor that is very different but at times it can me too much.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 Publican (16) - Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 19, 2002
A ruby red colour with a cinnamon aroma and taste
with verry little bitterness. Thin body. This is my first
example of a spiced ale and it will definatly be my last
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 Radek Kliber (5906) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - NOV 16, 2002
Perfumes of dark forest just after midnight collected by my friend elf of Tangwood. Slight move of a wind blows away that aroma so please be careful. Herbal was the word of the today in my house. Mystic or just boastful? Decide for your self, I shall stand on the side.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 mrkimchee (1414) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 12, 2002
pours clear dark brown, off white head. big aroma of ginger and spice. dark malty, orangy, ginger flavour. I’m not a lover of big ginger flavours in beer, but I can see how people would like this, and I can also see how this would be nice paired with the right food. not my bag, but still good.
