Likerighteous (120), Pflugerville, Texas, USA Feb 9, 2006 Gingerman. My favorite from Live Oak. Big crunchy head hints of wheat or rice. Rich with dates and sasparilla notes. Caramel coated biscuits with a pleasant finish, a fantastic attempt and easier than Ayinger. Tejas (581), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 30, 2006 Gingerman, Dallas. Loads of grape aroma and flavor, especially in the flavor. Tasty brew that I’d order again but could only manage to drink one of. Just too malty sweet for my tastes but another good brew from Live Oak. biz82 (1300), austin, Texas, USA Jan 28, 2006 clear, dark amber with a thin head. Dark caramel malt and raisen aroma with a hint of DMS. Big malt flavor with caramel. Has a bit of astringency and sourness. Perhaps a little thin in body for the style. Nice rendition but I liked previous years better. legion242 (1506), Richardson, Texas, USA Jan 10, 2006 Probably my favorite of their’s so far, though I did not check my previous ratings. Very full bodied with, as stated before, nice malty chewiness. In fact excellent malting on their part. Beer_Rules (237), San Marcos, Texas, USA Jan 4, 2006 Delicious looking brown body with a thick and creamy beige head. smelled rich, vinous, and fruity. Taste was bready, fruity, and alcoholic. Mouthfeel was rich and chewy. Seems a bit undeveloped, but good nonetheless.
