February 27, 2013 - tap at Foundry. Cloudy whitish pour with head and lacing. Aroma was lemonade with a splash of ginger. Taste was consistent but thankfully not too much ginger, which I don’t care for much. Little bit thin and an odd aftertaste.

the aroma of lemons was very enjoyable. Had the appearence of a cloudy lemonade. Taste was very pleasent of lemons even wife liked it. no aftertaste clean palate. This was a very suprising beer loved it

It poured a cloudy orange copper color with a tiny white head. The aroma was of lemons, ginger and sugar. The taste was of some ginger, syrup and a lttle soda water. A decent beverage on a rather warm afternoon.

Draft at the source. Hazy golden color, small white head, decent lacing. Gingrr is subtle in the nose, but grabs you in the taste. OK if you like ginger.

Draft sample at Microfest 2012. Of the four, I’m not sure why I reached for this one. Probably because it was 90 degrees and the festival was on a parking lot. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a finger of frothy white head. Notes of lemon citrus, ginger- and a lot of both- along with sugar, and some bread. Light-bodied, with high carbonation and a crisp, sweet, gingery mouthfeel. Spicy and sweet at the same time, refreshing. Not bad, actually.

On tap at the brewpub. Comes a hazy pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and giner. Taste is lemon, ginger, and sugar. Nice shandy.

I’m crushing this on McCoys back porch while I rate. This is everything it should be. Light, flavorful, and effervescent, however you spell that word. Goes down easy. Possibly the perfect shandy.

yeasty, hazy, light yellow, good lacing and medium head, ginger and yeast nose, sweet. Summer sipper - or as they say in South Africa, a proper ladies sundowner.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a thin white head that dissipates to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet spices and fruit. Light body with a ginger ale flavor and notes of citrus and brine. The finish is fruity with a lingering ginger aftertaste. Overall pretty much exactly as it is billed, although this is not something I would revisit outside of the novelty of it.

This was a stone cold groove! .. on tap @ McCoys - KC .. . Pours a hazy tan, medium foam .. . light ginger, citrus and summer .. . super refreshing and a great summer session brew! .. . We understand some drains in your area have been malfunctioning, sucking in people and...whatnot. .. --Willikers! That’s awful.
