mjtedin (8), USA does not count May 25, 2008 This is a medium to full bodied beer. It has a golden color with some sweetness. It has a strong but not overpowering ginger flavor. If you like ginger, this is your beer. BrewDad (1711), Olympia, Washington, USA May 5, 2008 <b>4oz Taster - Hop Scotch Spring Beer Festival - Seattle, WA <br /></b>

Overall – If you wanted a beer for sushi this is the beer. Wow what a great flavor. They have something going on here at Laughing Buddha.
AmEricanbrew (1137), Swamp Shreveport, Left Coast, Louisiana, USA Jun 12, 2008 Clear amber with a 1" head. Big sharp ginger aroma with some pale bready malts. Smooth medium body. Flavor mirrors the aroma with with sharp dry ginger with lightly sweet malts which tempers some of the big ginger flavors. Who needs hops when you have herbs and spices ? scrizzz (537), kirkland, Washington, USA Jun 19, 2008 biting ginger aroma, I can taste it! mandarin may be there, or just the citrus character of the spice. hazy gold with orange, thin head, great swirl of citrus and ginger, though all at once. I was expecting the ginger to be fierce and dominant from the first whiff, and was happy with the balance. theisti (1180), Leawood, Kansas, USA Jun 17, 2008 Updated: Jun 18, 200822 oz bomber courtesy of the former lurker now known as bvc. Pour is hazy golden orange with a nice two inch dirty white head and a bunch of carbonation bubbles. Head noisily settles in, leaving behind some decent lacing. Aroma is ginger. My goodness, I was expecting this to smell like ginger of course, but it REALLY smells like super fresh ginger. Behind the ginger is some orange juice and yeast. Taste is spicy sweet ginger, mandarin orange citrus tartness and bitter citrus peel. As with the nose, this tastes exceptionally fresh. Somehow the taste in this is not overpowering, really nicely melded actually. Palate is medium with very lively carbonation. I can say, without a doubt, I have never tasted a beer like this. Fun and refreshing. Thanks for sending this one my way Brandon!
