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.

Can I say first that I really wanted to like this beer? Purchased a 4 pack at the local bottle shop, poured into a bell glass with a nice 1 inch head. Nice aroma of ginger and touch of citrus. Incredibly effervescent which combined with the ginger flavor gives a sharp acrid ’bite’ to the finish. The extra light body only adds to the astringency. Interesting to try this one once, and it might go really well with spicy thai food.

Nice floral hop aroma with a bit of citrus and ginger. The flavor is nice enough, but this is a pretty lightweight brew. I don’t taste much ginger, but there is a little spice livening up this non-descript, average light ale.

Copper/bronze faint ginger/floral perfume. Quite an earthy ginger flavour. Not real heat nor any sweetness of note. Description of a pale ale with ginger is very accurate. Dry any a slight papery finish.

Cloudy pale golden brew with a negligible wisp of a head, sweet aroma, a little down on carbonation but a nice idea.

12oz. Pours a light amber with a nice fluffy white head depending on your pouring style. Nose is a bit muted when cold, but as it warms up there are some nice fruity malts that come through, but nothing I could distinguish as ginger. I was surprised in the flavor profile how muted the ginger was, but the more I drank the more I appreciated that fact (have you ever had ginger lemonade? uggh). Some slight spice and citrus and lovely caramel malt. The palate is easily the best part. Moderate carbonation, and a VERY dry finish. Would do very well with food for this fact, I can’t get over how dry and lovely it is! Not what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised nonetheless, I could drink this all the time.

22 oz bottle. Not sure what i expected, and not sure what I got. Enjoyed in Estes Park, CO. Hazy pink amber with big white head. I guess the nose is kinda ginger. I guess the flavor is kinda gingery too. Maybe malty. I feel like I need to try this again some other time, but not so sure I need to try this again some other time.

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a beers of summer 10 pack at World Market. Bottled on 11 12 08 stamped on label. Pour is hazed golden amber with a 1/2 inch off white head. A bit of settling on the pour. Aroma of soft lemon sweet sugar and some ginger. Soft and clean nose. Taste is sweet sugar lemon, with a crisp wheat like body and strong ginger flavor in the finish. Palate is lighter bodied, crisp and clean. Nicely drinkable beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours an orange gradient with slightly yellow white frothy head. Smells like corn malt. Smooth with a slight ginger bite, kind of watery, i see why this is more popular during the summer.
