BückDich (4605), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 26, 2008 Bottle: Pours a copper beige color with a nice head and lacing. The nose is bright with ginger, ample medicinal notes and some spicy herbal notes. The flavor is intense too with a nice hoppy note, malty balance and tons of ginger and other herbs. Flavorful but balanced, not too thick or cloying on the palate. Nice.
dwyerpg (2143), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Oct 23, 2008 Wow, this smells like ginger root. Very strong aroma. The flavor is also very strong of ginger. A bit like ginger and cola together. I don’t like this. Don’t get any orange, just a buttload of ginger; way too much for me. hopscotch (4679), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 16, 2008 Bottle... Hazy golden ale with a huge, frothy, white head. Good retention. Smells a lot like a spicy, sweet ginger ale (Vernors?) ... not a bad thing; not a good thing just a thing. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Sweet, spicy and very tangy. Mildly sweet, herbal finish. <b>Kudos to explosivebeer for shipping the bottle my way!</b> fakepurseninja (578), Washington, USA Sep 5, 2008 Not on Board. Props for going out there with this one, but this one will not be gracing my fridge ever again. Too much ginger. Smelled and tasted like ginger ale with a sharp orange zest that just highlighted everything that I found wrong in the drink. Like Great Divide’s Samurai Rice Beer - like the originality, but it just does not work for me.
Smelled nice. Not for beer. But I would not mind having a scented candle version of this beer. glkaiser (1017), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 29, 2008 Great balance of ginger and light hops. Went well with the variety of sushi we were chowing on. One thing I Iove about Laughing Buddha, is they accomplish these "off-kilter" beers cleanly, but with plenty of excitement. Refreshing and makes the palate happy. jake65 (1326), Meridian, Idaho, USA Aug 27, 2008 Bottle: Copper pour with a small beige head. Just standing there shooting the breeze I notice this massive aroma of ginger floating through the air. Wow! The doesn’t have that same ginger potency, but still is rich with spices and florals. Some mild maltiness. Thanks Jordan.
