Dec 8, 2005 Cloudy golden pour with a thick white head. Decent aroma of ginger, spices and yeast. The flavor is also decent with ginger, spices and yeast. The palate is light and creamy and the carbonation is lively. Humm, what to say, it’s a worthy experiment but comes out being a barely good beer.

Dec 6, 2005 The Lure:
Foamy carbonation propulses ginger spiciness and honey sweetness. White grape fruitiness accompanies the fresh grain, curiosity is tickled, and nostrils awakened.
The Festivities:
Big-bubbled effervescence is pugnacious and bothersome. Ginger predominates, along with the grapey fruitiness, but they are either too shy to shine or are overcome by the bubbling. Faint alcohol is perceived, which isn’t necessary, for me, at this gravity. Another interesting product from DFH, but I feel like it’s more special on paper than in the mouth.
Transcendence:
An artist doesn’t always have great ideas.

Nov 18, 2005 2004 bottle: Pours a coppery color and cloudy with floaties and a large off white head. Smells mildly sour with some strong grassy elements. Taste is spicy with some strong ginger notes, and some mellow bitter citrus. Surprising for a 7% beer that’s been sitting around for 2 years on a shelf.

Nov 17, 2005 The ginger is very apparent in this, both in aroma and flavor. Big foamy light tan head. It was good, but nothing outstanding.

Oct 22, 2005 750ml. bottle. Hazy golden/orange color with a huge white head. Complex, musty aroma of yeast, lemon, ginger and
fresh herbs. Sweet malty, ginger flavor with some citrus and yeast. Dries quite a bit on the finish. Unusual, but very drinkable beer.
