It has to be one of the worst beers Ive had that’s not infected- are you kidding me?? Wow, a ginger bomb that is "would you like some beer with your ginger??" I just couldn’t get past the ginger. No finesse, terrible. A perfect example of how to not make a beer. Ugh.

Blonde with a slight white head. Floral ginger and lemongrass aroma and taste with a crystalmaltiness underneath...refreshing!

Yellow with a white head. Aroma has light malts, spice, ginger, lemon, and wheat. Medium bodied. Flavor has lemon, wheat, biscuit malts, and light gigner spice. Decent brew that drank easy yet forgettable.

I don’t know but ginger doesn’t do it for me. This pours a very pale yellow, almost like piss. It has a huge foamy head too. The aroma is ginger. The flavor is ginger. I don’t like ginger so I guess that says it all.

Lively clear golden with a small white head, nice lacing... spicy flavor, yeasty wheaty easy drinking, light lemon, light ginger upon reflection, quenching... light lemon aroma, finish is a bit nondescript...

Pale golden pour white head and sticky striped lacing ... aroma and taste are a fight between lemongrass and ginger with light wheat .... taste has a spicy floral hop bite to it .... sessionable and balanced flavors good summer brew with good fresh flavors

Sampled at WCBF with brother bob. Not a bad summer beer. Nice orange/ golden hazed pour. With a soice bread aroma. Flavors were cinnamin, ginger and straw. Interesting brew.

From Growler. Poured a golden yellow color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of ginger, lemon grass, and wheat. Tastes follow. I’m not a fan of ginger, but could drink this on a hot summer day...

Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of ginger and lemongrass. Poured yellow/gold in color with a medium-sized, white, creamy, head that diminished but lasted throughout. Hazy. Not sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of ginger, wheat, chalk, and slight malt. Light to medium body. Thin, dry texture. Soft carbonation. Ginger and wheat finish is dry.

Pours hazy gold with small white head. Aroma is ginger, citrus, wheat and a bubblegum. Taste is sweet with a medium mouthfeel. As noted prior the low carbonation gives this beer a smooth finish. Felt a little unfinished.
