Apr 14, 2006 This beer was a wonderful surprise! I expected it to have a really dominating ginger flavor and aroma based on the name and description, but I was quite pleasantly surprised.
The beer pours smooth with a lot of carbonation, which quickly settles down to a decent head. The body is a wheat/straw color...lovely.
The aroma has some spice to it, but I don’t think ginger dominates quite as much as you might expect. It smells like beer, not ginger ale.
The flavor is wonderful: effervescent, light, with some sweetness balanced by the dry hop flavors and the essence of ginger. Overall, this beer is surprisingly well balanced!

does not count  Nov 22, 2007 I love Reed’s non-alcoholic ginger beer. This has a lot of the same strong ginger flavor in a mildly malty beer....delicious.

Apr 7, 2008 330 ml. Murky copper color with a four-finger, lasting head. Spicy citrus and earthy honey aroma is subdued by some slight ginger. Flavor is earthy citrus-resin, caramel, acidic fruit, peppery dried wood, toasted pecan. Thanks goodness the ginger is used mainly as an accent to the rest of the great flavors, only hogging the spotlight slightly in the finish and the aftertaste. Creamy smooth, medium body is tingly and dry on the gingery finish.

Apr 13, 2006 The ginger added to ths beer is great. It really allows the spices to show and bring out the malts and grains both on the palate and finish. Tasted at the divine bar NYC.

May 2, 2007 24 oz bottle - Hazed copper, tan fizzy head. Nice sweet earthy ginger nose that fades into soft peppered lychee and floral orangey tones. Ginger flavor up front, but further warming brings out more fruity sweet peppery notes. Faint cedar adds to the fun. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry gingery finish. A great refreshing summer brew and a nice change of pace. Well done for this style...
