0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20275mL bottle purchased in Montego Bay, Jamaica at Progressive Market. Holy shit, this smells like pine-sol. Literally. Literally Pine Sol cleanser. I can’t even come up with any other descriptors on this. Hazy white body that looks like coconut milk. Small, fizzy small white head. Quickly dissipating. Starts sweet, sugary, and piney. Light ginger spiciness later on. Finishes sweet and sugary. More Pine Sol late. Soft carbonation. Yeah, I imagine this tastes like Pine Sol, too.

I had it for the first time at a xmas day party the other day and I thought it was really good. So I bought a carton and drank it all day xmas day, it really washed down the prawns and king crab well. And with a 4.8% alc content per bottle, I didn’t really feel that I was effected by it as I would’ve had I drank the same amount of my normal choice of beer. Which can be a bit deceiving, you think you’re not drunk when you really are....
But it is very sweet, and a bit expensive. And needs to come in a slightly larger bottle. A cheap way I found is to buy a bottle of stone’s green ginger wine and add a dash to your normal beer, beautiful stuff. But it has to be cold, chilled cold.

Pour at Warners at the Bay Beer Festival 2010. Quite dry and crisp, but unfortunately lacks the potent ginger i like in a ginger beer.
2.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
330ml bottle. Cloudy and very hazy pale lemon colour with a quickly vanishing head. Strong crisp ginger aromas, funny that. Pleasant enough and quite refreshing. Sweet and spritzy with a dry finish.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
330mL bottle. Pours a hazy pale straw yellow without much of a head. Smells like ginger! Pretty sweet, tastes mostly like ginger(!) with some other faint flavours that aren’t great and which I imagine are from the alcohol oriented brewing process. Fizzy and sticky, just like you’d expect from an alcoholic soft drink.
