Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival on 28 April 2011. Pale gold colour. Definite ginger aroma. Clean and gingery on the palate but not too overwhelming. I’m not usually a big fan of ginger beers but this isn’t bad at all.

12th July 2012
Chelmsford Beer Festival. Light haze on this gold beer. Little bubbly white head. Light semi dry palate, fresh. Mild but fresh ginger with a bit of citrus in the background. Fairly dry finish. The ginger here, is more about flavour than heat. Not bad!

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On cask at The Castle - August 10, 2011. Clear still gold with an average frothy somewhat lasting white head. Smells a bit sour - not much hop character - malty, funky ... not much ginger, but maybe a hint of perfumed hand soap. Taste - well, my voice memo is "whooooooaaaaaahhhh! Whoah!!!! Whoh!!" - THERE’s the hoppiness, oh yeah "the taste is the shit!" - pungently floral/resin, quite a lot of complementing ginger, no alcohol at all on my tongue - a solid 8 for flavour, with a bullet. Quite astringent, mildly carbonated, a long dry bitter finish and the ginger clings doggedly to the palate for a long, long time (4-). Splendiferous stuff.
