Bottle from the Penzance co-op. Pours very bright gold with a transient white head. Aromas are floral, light stone fruit and spice. Med body. Mild fruit flavor, and something lightly hot or spicy - could well be ginger. Decent drink, but stronger flavor might be an improvement.

Bottle. Dull tan. Fresh, floral and lightly gingery notes. Tastes fresh and gingery with just a mild bite at the end. Refreshing.

Bottle 330ml. @ home.

Clear medium orange yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, perfume, citrus, moderate yeasty, soapy, spicy, light ginger. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110314]

Bottle @ Eden Project cafe. Bright honey but thin head. Doesn’t smell like ginger ale, which is good. Flavors are pretty nice. The ginger actually works well here, balanced with floral hops. High carbonation but juicy body. Orange fruit flavors are juicy and good. Much better than expected.

Hey a Christmas present that was actually useful (unlike the onion cutter from my Mother that broke the first time I used it. Gold with a slight haze and very thin white head. Advertised as a beer with ginger so I should like it. Aroma of sherbert hop and some ginger. Its ok in the mouth. More sherbert hop with touch of soap. Malts are just about ok in that they are pale and give a little structure but nothing more than barely adequate. Light with some ginger flavour rather than Bark. Still a nice enough aperatif. Some orange blossom throughout.

Bottle shared by GrOve. A finger of blond head upon a pale gold colored body. Aroma of sharpish pale malts with a spicy touch. Also a whiff of dry lemony fuitiness. Sharp and dry lime/lemon flavor. The ginger added provides a hot stinging sensation. Sharp citrus and ginger in the finish.

Pale beer, løively carbonation. Soft, rather thin, a little ginger bite, but generally not up to much.

Medium offwhite head. Yellow body with light carbonation. Perfumy plasticky aroma is sort of vague. Dry perfumy plasticky mealy taste. A bit one-dimensional. Sharpish, hottish mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry lime and ginger aftertaste. Not much flavour, really. (0.33l bottle shared by gr0ve.)

Bottle - Hazy orange/gold. White head. Medium to high carbonation. Sweet, malty, with citrus and ginger. Fairly average. Chalkies Bark isprobably a little worse than his Bite.

330ml bottle from Sourced @ St Pancras. Golden yellow in colour, moderate carbonation and bubbly white head. Nose; fresh, citrus and slightly hoppy. Palate; citrus fruits, spicy (predominantly ginger), tangy and dry. Easy to drink and quite refreshing.
