1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Pours a clear deep gold with a average white head that retains poorly. Aroma is very sweet with a gingery spice note, in a ginger-ale way, not a real ginger way. Surprisingly the first flavour that I find is cocoa, followed by a syrpy sugary sweetness with that same ginger-ale flavour. Flavourful, but too sweet with nothing in the finish to balance it out. Furthermore, the flavour combination of cocoa and ginger just don’t work. Is the "hidden secret" cocoa? WTF?
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
330ml Pale yellow, big head but thins quick. Sweet, slightly grainy aroma. Sweet again with a metallic touch. Faint citrus and a ’SuperWine’ biscuit sweet finish. Ginger warmth rather than ginger flavoured. Different - perhaps the beer version of L & P!
2.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Tasted 07/06/2008. Pours an effervescent pale gold, brilliant, with a fast disappearing white head. Weedy, slightly spicy, grainy aroma. Clean. Clean again in the mouth at first, with a medium sweetness, a warming woody spicy bite and metallic note through the middle, more weediness, some lemony herb and then a husky sweet graininess in the finish. Soapy aftertaste. Meh... I can’t get through it. Possibly the worst "finisher" I’ve ever had, promised a little but delivered muck. I suppose it can’t always be a winner.
0.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Bottle, pouring a clear pale gold with a huge white foamy head. Lemony and ginger aroma, but vegetable and a bit caustic. Ugh, I don’t know what to make of this. Lemony and ginger again, but a real washing liquid flavour to it all. Will be tough finishing this....
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle 50cl. Clear golden body with a medium size dense white head. Citrus and cinnamon in the nose and flavour. Strange beer.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
(On tap) Clear, golden with a lightly creamy, white head leaving some laces. Sweetish aroma of citrus and and cinnamon. Medium body with a distinct honey sweetness and a discreet touch of cinnamon. Almost no bitterness. 020208
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Found this very hard to drink. There was a distinctive lemony flavour - almost as if it had been mixed with Palmolive dishwashing liquod (perhaps that the ’secret’ mentioned in the description above). Could not drink a whole glass. Very disappointing.
0.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Pale straw colour with thin white head. malt hop aroma, thin watery body. Vanilla flavours. So baaaaaaaaaaaaad
