Zkusil jsem a už nezkusím. pivák s dost výraznou zázvorovou chutí, přesto (nebo právě proto) ne moc pitelný. Lahváč z tesca.

500 ml bottle. BB 24/05/2013. Vltava, Helsinki, Finland.
Deep golden colour with small white head. Aroma is sugary sweet and artificial gingery. It’s not necessarily bad but it’s just not fresh or real. As the ingredients say aspartam it’s very much artificial and sweet. I kind of like ginger but this ain’t my cup of tea.

Bottle labeled Gingers Beer Exclusive (is it the same one?). Pours golden to amber color with almost no head. Aroma is chemicals, sugar and soap. Taste very sweet, with even more soap and a hint of ginger. But not a real one, ingredients don’t mention one. This beer has chemicals written all over it. Pretty bad.

Bottle, from pivoteka in Pilsen, now with a fancier label. Too bad about the contents - watery golden with no real head; aroma of stale beer; hints of cardboard and window cleaner; rank

It smells sweet-fruity. The taste is very sweet, a bit fruity. Medium 6/7/7/6/8/6

Bottled 500ml. -at Novopacka pivaren, Bratislava as Zazvorove Pivo. Pale golden coloured, medium to big sized soapy white head, fresh but pretty artificial ginger nose. The taste...hmmm diluted white wine mixed with dish washing liquid. No trace of real ginger. Sweet finish. I’ve thought that Trešnove gonna be the worst beer here but I was veeerrryyyy wrong.

0.5L bottle bought @Pivoňka, Hradec Králové. Brass colored body. No head to speak of, just a layer of tiny beige bubbles. Fresh smell of light acidic red apples and faint ginger. Taste is clean, light sweet ginger-accented. Also some apple fruitiness and hint of bittering hops. Light-bodied. Slick texture. A light ginger heath is noticable in the finish. No offs, uncomplicated an easy to like.

Bottle. Golden with a quickly vanishing head. Surprisingly no chemical flavours detected - even the ginger tasted naturally although it is artificial. Aroma is ginger and some lemon, taste is gingery sweet and a bit metallic with a very light bitterness. Tastes like lemonade and not like beer but overall it’s not bad for a flavoured beer.
