COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ingredients: Water; Malted barley; Ginger root; Hops; Yeast.
Our beer is basically a pale ale brewed from a relative low gravity, with some of the hops which would normally be used in the beer replaced by freshly ground ginger root. The beer is light in body, lower in alcohol, has a distinct ginger aroma, and has a very crisp finish. It was initially brewed as a refreshing alternative to the plethora of wheat beers which are popular in the summertime. Popular demand turned it into a year round beer.

Not at all close to my taste. Is tasteless, with not a pleasant aroma. Ginger and beer dont mix in my mind, so I cant be the best judge of it. Too watery and "cheap"

Pours a somewhat clear light copper with a small white head. Aroma is of ginger, spices and some citrus and grass notes. Can’t taste very much ginger, not much taste at all, really. Spices, a little citrus and a light but clean hop finish.

Not much to look at...no head to speak of. Very thin - little body. I really wish I could taste the ginger in this beer - I like ginger....but I’m failing to pick it up (and ginger ain’t exactly known for being subtle). You can tell they pulled the hops...but what for, I’m not sure (water?). There is a bit of malty almost nuttiness to it, and I think it would be quite refreshing in the summer...but so is water.

Poured a very light and clear color. I liked the ginger flavor. It was still a little too light-bodied for my taste though.

womencantsail (3934) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - OCT 8, 2011
A: The pour is a fairly clear golden color with a finger of white head. S: Definitely has some ginger smell to it. Fairly citrusy as well, mostly sweet oranges. Some pale malt and bread aromas with a little bit of brown sugar. T: Flavor-wise, it’s not too bad. There is a nice sweetness to it of bread, brown sugar, caramel, and maybe even a little bit of vanilla. The ginger is mild at first, but comes on very strong toward the end. M: Light to medium in body with a medium level of carbonation. O: Was expecting a much more intense ginger flavor, but this wasn’t overdone.

mile (1459) - Helsinki, FINLAND - SEP 30, 2011
Bottle. Golden, hazy, small to average and and mostly diminishing head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, some ginger - spiciness. Body is light medium, malty and sweetish flavor, some ginger - spiciness, faint caramel. Finish is short to average, malty and lightly sweetish, some ginger - spiciness. Ginger and beer - do not work for me.

12oz bottle. Was expecting some flavor from this but apparenty ginger has none. A mediocre lager at best. Not bad per se but nothing notable either. Pass.
