3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Shared by DuctTape. Crisp golden yellow body with a mountainous white head, bits of ginger at the bottom of the glass. Massively gingery aroma, light hints of citrus. Fairly gingery flavour but it does not reach its peak until the aftertaste where it leaves a light gingery burn in the throat, light bitterness. Light orange notes to the flavour. Average plus palate. Ginger is a bit over bearing, nice but not overly repeatable unless you really like ginger.

Single bottle purchased in a BC Liqour store in Chilliwack, BC on 08/20/2011. Colour: Didn’t see...drank out of the bottle...look light yellow. Nose: Very herbal - not just ginger. A smattering of marshmellow. Taste: Medium sweet, light bitter, light sour. Sweeter than expected. Ginger plays but not always at the forefront. Some vanilla and corn also contribute. Not as good as a couple of the gingers I have tried but by no means undrinkable.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy, orange. Large bubbled white foam. Very carbonated. Thought this was infected due to its exuberant presentation but it’s very palatable with no off flavors. This is a perfect example of what a ginger beer should be. Spritzy, dry in feel, spicy, floral, herbal, tangy, some apparent sweetness. Very gingery. Some remaining acidic feel on the tongue, some bitterness, definitely ginger in the finish as well. Very well done.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pale golden color. Ginger and ginseng nose. I think I need some Chinese stirfry. Massive gingery mouth that comes across artifically. Dry gingery finish

650 ml bomber 2011 release. Hawaiian ginger this time around.
Clear amber gold with not much head, smells and tastes of spicy ginger, bright and clean, light floral hops and light malts. Clean ginger finish, very nice with the nigiri!

Spicy ginger aroma, some sweetness, a touch of beery aroma. Pours golden with light haze. THe flavor is spicy - lots of ginger, light sweetness. Thats about it. Not bad, would make my stomach feel good if I had to shit.

Great amber colour with no head. Strong ginger aroma very nice smelling. Flavour is very pleasant, nice light ginger flavour, not over powering. but I could use more body and complexity. Like most beers from Granville this one is pretty dull.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 11/20
I bought a 2-pak from the brewery gift shop. Smells like I’m in the bulk section at the grocery store. Not much head, very clear, no lacing. Kinda sad. You can really taste the ginger but there’s not much else going on. Quite thin and clear, clean tasting. It’s a nice ginger flavour, but there’s not that much to it. It’s pretty plain.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours light hazy yellow. Aroma and flavour of potent ginger. Certainly is what is advertised - not my thing though.

UPDATED: APR 3, 2012 Great with spicy food. Traditional taste. Great aroma. Pale and bubbly. Not a unique flavor but well done.
