22. Lightly sweet palate, medium head that recedes in the glass Minimal lace, light carbonation, light hop flavor. Perfect ABV to carry the flavor along. Excellently rendered ginger flavors in this beer: it has the warmth, fruitiness, and peppery kick of a good fresh knob of ginger. Fruity ginger aroma. Delicious with spicy Asian foods.

Hazy amber beer. Dry palate. Fresh tasting ginger but it’s somewhat diluted and there is nothing much else going on. A very over dry finish with a trace of banana.

Thanks to goodzoid10 for sending this one. pours golden, white head. aroma, definitely some nice ginger spices along with a mild touch of orange zest. flavors, light mouthfeel, ginger comes across nicely and not too overpowering for this 5abv beer. Hints of hops and the orange adds a nice sweet tropical note. Light and refreshing.

Thanks to SeaBass. A: Pours a light golden hue with a rather small head. No retention or lace. S: Aromas of orange, mild ginger, and other spices. T: Lots of citrus, mild zest with notes of ginger. Light caramel, and hints of bread. M: Light in body, sort of watery to be honest.

Thanks to Solan for the pour. Dark gold pour. Huge ginger nose. Really fresh ginger, refreshing. Taste is light and crispy, so much ginger. This is very drinkable and a great warm weather brew.

shared by Solan. Ginger on the nose with hints of pine and juniper. Pours a golden pale with a thin white head. Fresh ginger with citrus notes with a grassy finish.

22 oz. thanks to Solan. pours gold with a white head. the nose has a lot of carmelized ginger and some grassy hops that balance it very well, though the ginger really takes over in a very enticing way. The flavor reflects the aroma pretty closely, though the hops come out a little more, which i think is probably for the best. Pretty crisp and refreshing. I like this.
