3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
<i>Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. </i> Cloudy deep golden, small but fairly firm head. Spicy hops up front with just a touch of ginger. Dry and crisp with marked spicy hops as it’s most prominent feature. There’s notes of grainy bread before a finish with medium bitterness. A really refreshing well made pilsener with a twist.

Hazy golden-bronze. The aroma is mainly of pickled ginger and ginger beer. Somewhat spicy, with more bitterness than expected. Fairly thin on the malts. Not terribly well-balanced. I’m sure this idea could be done better.

22 oz bomber. Golden coloured beer, thin white head. Aroma is more pilsner than ginger. Fairly standard grainy aroma. There is a kiss of herbal/floral hoppiness on the back. Lightly sweet flavour with a touch of gingery spiciness toward the back. Pretty decent, if a bit typical. Nice balance, but I was expecting more ginger from a beer with ginger in the name.

22 oz. bottle shared by jcwattsrugger at the 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering in Williamsburg. Thanks John! Golden pour with almost no head. Fruity aroma with apple notes. Dry, slightly herbal taste. The ginger is almost noticeable here, but comes across as a more generic herbal note. Medium bodied.

2009-03-20. Golden yellow with a small white head that fades quickly. Mil aroma of muted ginger, pale malts. Flavour is similarly mild, modest ginger presence over muted pale malts, slightly doughy bready character. Average to thin palate. Pretty meh, but could pair nicely with some sushi.

Bomber. Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of crisp dry malt, pepper, touches of ginger. Tastes of dry malt, some pepper, spice, ginger. Every beer this brewer has released in my state to date has been really good!

Bottle (22oz). Shared with blankboy, garthicus, gregclow, jerc and tupalev. Hazy gold with a small drizzle of white head. Grassy and tangy aroma - I guess that’s ginger - very delicate malt and some heather softness. The taste is similar, perhaps more pungently grassy, but some light unpleasant plastic character (warm garden hose) emerges as it warms. Everything about the palate is average - body, carbonation, linger ..... not that bad, really.
