bozoNZ (481), Christchurch, New Zealand May 14, 2009 Sl cloudy yellow but the head was a bit dead. A peppery aroma with some hop aroma in there too. Like others said, if I was told this was a lager I’d believe it. Wheat notes are faint, hop bitterness is good and the ginger adds some hot spicelness rather than flavour. This is showing its age and is a bit flabby and tired but would have been interesting in it’s youth. NJBeerman013 (764), Trenton, New Jersey, USA May 12, 2009 22 oz bomber. Pours a hazy deep yellow in color with a frothy white head. The aroma is doughy, you can taste the coriander but not the ginger. I kind of like this blend of wheat and barley malts. It lends a certain sweetness to a usually dry style of beer. It is very smooth and almost creamy in texture. Very good. can8ianben (903), Pasadena, California, USA May 12, 2009 Clear yellow beer with a thick white pillow of a head on it. Aroma of corn and sugar - much like you would expect from an international lager. Flavor is much more lager like than I would have expected too. Has some subtle yeasty spice to it, but also some pilsner like harsh hop bite. I can’t decide what to make of this one... if it was labeled a lager, I would have totally believed it. tokyogoat (505), San Diego, California, USA May 10, 2009 {Poured hazy golden with an orange glow
Two fingers of fluffy white head
Feint smells of pepper and orange zest.
Taste was not very spicy, light hints of ginger, white pepper, citrus, a tad chalky form the pacman yeast, good carbonation, nice mouthfeel. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA May 8, 2009 Pours a clear orange with a white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of citrus, ginger, wheat. Taste is similar however very spicy as well, especially in the finish. Not your typical hef. Not sure how I feel about this one, might have to re-rate sometime. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 8, 2009 Bottle. Hazy golden orange body with a white head. Citrus, wheat hints of ginger and all spice. Pepper and some mild malty notes. A hint of lemon and banana. Okay. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA May 4, 2009 hazy yellow, fluffy white head, no lace. strong orange peel nose, spice and hint of hops. spicy flavor with citrus notes, peppery. much too complex for me to pick out more. full bodied, spicy, dry finish. a quaffable brew. bomber bought at liquor depot in monee. tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA May 4, 2009 On tap at Raleigh WBF. Pours a clear bright yellow with a thin white cap. Aroma of pine, coriander, juniper berries, ginger along with lemongrass. Good lacing. Taste is light-bodied and overly-carbonated but coriander, lemon zest, and orange peel show through. Refreshing and an interesting approach to the style.
