0.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
330 ml metal bottle. Pale golden beer, thin white head. Aroma is soapy, faint ginger and sweet lemon-lime soda. Flavour is sweet and nasty with sugary notes of Desparados. Only Duyck can deliver this kind of vile nastiness. Both sweet and metallic. Vile.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Originally rated April 2005. My first Bière de Garde experience à la gingembre ! I bought this at the LCBO on Rideau in Ottawa, Ontario. Comes in a very cool aluminium bottle with some funky paint over it. Pours a golden colour with lively carbonation. The small head creates some good lacing after its quick fall. Mmmm.... the aroma of ginger really stands out with hints of grainy malt. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Its taste is very close to the pop drink ginger ale, with a metallic finish and a long smooth ginger aftertaste. Quite expensive for a brew, but worth it being a good different spiced bière de garde.

330ml aluminum bottle, purchased from LCBO years ago. I found both the beer and the ginger taste rather mild. Overall, not so bad.

This teste likes ginger ale minus the sugar, and with alcohol. It takes all the natural sweetness out of the ginger, and leave you with this bitter ginger mess.

July 05. Straw with a weak head. The aroma has a lot of ginger, just like the flavour, that is slightly metallic and rather thin, it reminds me of a lager with ginger. Not a nice one IMO.

Why bother? Just drink Ginger Ale! Golden colour, white head that dissipate slowly. Not that bad, but not that original either.

Bottle (Aluminum) Pours a golden yellow with a head that leaves quickly. You can discern ginger on the nose mixed with bread and skunkiness. Was not able to detect any ginger in the flavor or its alledged "fiery undertaste". Beer was citric with funky flavors. Definately not enjoyable. Thanks Blankboy for the bottle or should I say cylinder.
