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.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear amber with a small, rough, off-white head. Rather neutral aroma with a hint of ginger. Very thin body with accents of pilsener malt and a discreet, spicy edge of ginger and - tea? Quite refreshing. 230306

yespr (22245) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JUN 12, 2008
12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a huge white head. Hoppy and ginger aroma, goes well together - rather inviting aroma. Flavour on the contrary is just plain soapwater. Quite soapy flavour and thin mouthfeel. Ends with a ginger spiced note, not much more but a faint bitterness in addition.

omhper (15965) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 6, 2004
Bottled. Hazy orange. Bready and mildly malty. The ginger sets in immediately, but doesn’t dominate the nose too much, and doesn’t get too overwhelming. Spicy, soft and quitr interesting. Quite low bitterness.

Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 11, 2008
Cloudy golden-amber colour. Fresh gingery-hoppy aroma. Fresh character, lots of ginger, fruity esters and light citrusy hop. The malts are mild and pale, providing just enough structure to balance but not enough to overwhelm the refreshing character. I like it.
