Bottle. Pour is a hazy orange with an initial nice white head that resides quickly. Aroma is a ginger, sweet, spicy. Taste of ginger is strong going sweet to bitter but is nice, crisp and refreshing. Overall not to bad of a beer. I think with changing the amount of each ingredient it could be better. Same with Nice Spice. Less or more of one thing can change it and make it better. But again overall a pretty solid one if you like ginger and hef's ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Mittenator (460) - Michigan, USA - MAY 9, 2013
Bottle. Bright golden orange with a minimal orangey white head. Strong ginger and spice aroma. A bit like a ginger snap. Tastes similar with a bunch of additional orange flavor. The aroma and flavor was much more pleasant as it warmed.

Bottle thanks to BlowOffTube. Pours a bright cloudy orange color. Smells a tad like ginger but mostly hefeweizen. Same with the taste.

marv3mania (67) - Lansing, Michigan, USA - APR 28, 2013
12 oz. bottle poured into pint glass. Appearance is a hazy golden-orange with no head. Aroma is wheat, banana, rye, and a sour scent like lemon. The taste is similar, but it is also sweeter. I can definitely taste the ginger. Smooth and crisp feel. It’s not bad, but I’m not a big fan.

fattybladdy (202) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - APR 25, 2013
12oz bottle, pours hazy bright orange with white head. Smells of yeast, ginger, spice. Wow that’s gingery, dominates the taste along with some banana, spice, and rye. Ugh...can’t say I’m a fan of this one.

bpar73 (166) - Bellaire, Michigan, USA - APR 22, 2013
On tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy golden with an off-white head. The aroma is ginger with spicy rye, hops, and fruity yeast. The flavor is light sweet and light to medium bitter with fresh ginger and a good amount of spicy rye. Nice refreshing citrus tones in the background.

Ostomo517 (59) - Norton Shores, Michigan, USA - APR 12, 2013
Pours a slightly cloudy golden color. Aroma is of ginger and spicy rye, palate is nice malt and rye then the ginger pops and its spicy warming and refreshing all at once. A perfect summer beer! Sure may sound odd but tastes fabulous.....its what Shorts does best!!

laiti (3939) - Tampere, FINLAND - FEB 14, 2013
75 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori. Rated on 02.05.2009
Aroma has lots of ginger, sweetish malty notes (rye?) and some resin. Flavour has sweet, resiny malt, some stinging ginger and peppery spices. Once again an odd beer from Shorts and once again I like it.
