3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 ElGaucho (1816) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - AUG 24, 2005
Alumabottle. Lager aroma with a discernable ginger character. Clear gold in color with steady, pervasive visible carbonation. Large, white head that diminishes. Nice lace. Refreshing with a tasteful ginger flavor. Ginger fans, this brew is for you. The thing I like about this brew is that it is different. Without the ginger flavoring, this is another run of the mill, lager tasting brew. With it, it is a stand out. I could see this beer go swimmingly with some spicy chinese food, especially dishes prepared with ginger. The allumabottle is exceptionally attractive, from the copper upper half to the silver lower half and piercing fire engine red "J" in the middle of the bottle. I love the type font as well. I feel as though I made a discovery with this beer, being only the 3rd to rate it and given its considerable redeeming qualities. I found it at an LCBO in Thunder Bay, Ontario in July ’05.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 ChristianSA (368) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - AUG 22, 2005
Funny 33 cl aluminum bottle. Blonde, clear with white big bubbled head with excellent retention. Aroma is heavy with peppery ginger. The flavor is very dry and watery, dominated by ginger, and reminds me a lot of a soda po(o)p. Ends dry without bitterness. I do not like ginger in beers, but I appreciate when people try to do something different, which explains the high overall rating, even though I couldn’t finish it.

Bottled in the most unusual aluminum shape container. Neat in the non traditional way. Gently gingery with sweet malts behind . Lightly bitter front spiced with lemony ginger . Very subtle . Malt rounds up the space . Clean, light and refreshing.

Pale slightly amber beer with litle head as expected. A quite ginger aroma with a reasonably strong ginger flavour. Overall not nearly as bad as the previous ratings.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - MAY 18, 2005
Courtesy of pintbypint. Alumminium 330ml bottle. Ingredients listed as beer and ginger. Light and bright gold coloring with only traces of a head. The aroma is rich and buttery apples with some white wine. The taste is fairly dry grapes and some traces of the ginger in the aftertaste. There is a faint citrus hint in here with some hay. A nice light brew that makes a great summer refresher.
