750mL bottle. Poured brighter golden with a tight-bubbled cap of white head. The aroma picked up very heavy ginger paired with peppery yeast and some bready malts.. warmth introduced banana and cloves.. smelled intriguing, but like something I wouldn’t want a whole lot of........ oh crap, I have a 750. The flavor opened with tangy, peppery spices with ginger increasing in intensity through a few seconds after the finish.. pale malts and a little honey gave sweet support.. again there was some banana and clove laced throughout, as well as dirty, somewhat bitter earth. Medium-bodied and well-carbonated.. spices played well with the malts and yeast, and the flow was solid.. long impression on the finish. Came across as a rather simple Belgian pale ale with ginger.. well-executed, but not so sessionable.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy with suspended floatie strongly carbonated dark yellow colored body. The mild aroma was malty mild spice and mild floral. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a mildly biting aftertaste. The mild flavor contained notes of malt hops and floral. An OK brew just nothing special.

Bottle at De Spuyt. Golden yellow body with big white head. Ginger nose and taste are hard to miss and unusual (one of 3 on RateBeer) but really not my thing. Bitter finish. Warming due to high ABV.

A blond coloured beer slightly hazy, a small white head and few carbonation. A strong spicy aroma (cinamon?) Full palate sparkling a bit. Finish is sweet bitter treating the tongue with a nice tickling feeling. Very good one.

Buona ! dai non è che sia sto capolavoro, ma è ben speziata, lo zenzero ci sta piuttosto bene, ed è bilanciata così si lascia bere bene! Bella Fre

clear gold under a lively fizzy white head with lots of carbonation bubbles. fresh, herbal, crisp, vanilla, aroma. flavor is cool minty, vanilla. leaves your mouth feeling clean and refreshed like some kind of minty chewing gum or toothpaste. drinkable and not too focused on the ginger but it’s definitely there.

33cl bottle. swap with plovmand. this one is BBF june 2008, sampled february 2009, but no signs at all it’s too old. hazy golden with some yeast, small white head. aroma is slightly citrussy, also a bit spicy. flavor is slightly citrussy, or perhaps honey and flowery, ginger.
