COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A dose of fresh ginger roots added to the brewkettle creates an intriguing mix of ginger, malt-sweetness , and citruslike aromas and flavors Hoppy dryness is very subdued with ginger-sweet-spicey notes dominating throughout to the very finish.

Draft to taster at Dutch’s. Looks solid; a cloudy brownish-orange with off-white lacing. Smells of malt and light Ginger and citrus. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. Forgettable.

Light beer with a great flavor. Not sure how they get so many flavors in one beer.

andrewturba (456) - Alberta, CANADA - APR 20, 2013
Pours a slightly hazy dark copper colour with a small off white head. Aroma is sweet malts, ginger, and medicinal. Flavour is sweet malts and a bit of a sweet ginger, mild bitterness and some alcohol that b lends well with the ginger. Creative beer all around.

Reimer96 (594) - Alberta, CANADA - APR 20, 2013
Pours a clear amber color with a nice frothy off white head. Aroma of medicine, ginger, sweet malts and a hint grassy hops. Taste is ginger, sweet malts and a smooth bitterness from the hops and slight Ringling from the ginger/alcohol. Overall the high abv is masked really well and this is a great ginger beer.

Pours orange with scant head. Sweet but mild aroma with a hint of ginger. Some sour citrus notes and a gentle ginger finish. Interesting definitely.

WVHouseofBeer (702) - Kissimmee, Florida, USA - APR 9, 2013
The aroma was surprisingly a little weak to me but consisted of ginger (obviously), spices and hops. Pours a nice looking amber color with a permanent off-white head. The flavors were pretty good with a hoppy bitterness up front and a hit of ginger towards the end. A solid and definitely unique beer. Probably the only ginger beer I will ever try.
