A- Clear light copper body with a small white head which dies out.

S- Caramel biscuity malts with herb and ginger lingering in the background. Light aroma.

T- Sweet malts showcase the ginger in a candied ginger form which makes this brew a real treat to drink, there are some hops there which give the ginger a spicy forwardness.

M- carbonation tingles and slightly oily feel.

O- Refreshing quaffable brew.

I had this beer by happenstance several years ago. I’ve never seen it offered in my area before or since. I’ve been obsessed, and I’ve asked several places to order it. The ginger pairs with the yeast really well!

Shared 355 ml bottle at local tasting ABV is 4.5%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Weak aroma, only a hint of ginger. More distinct ginger in the flavour, but not overpowering. A slight fruity acidity in the otherwise uninteresting pale ale base. Thin mouthfeel.

This is much better than the Moscow Mule pale ale and im questioning now why the former even exists. I got to try that first and it was good but the lime in that one wasn't so standout that it really separated the 2 and the ginger is better here in Good Juju. Idk.

Pours light amber with a 1.5" white head, which lasts. Moderate lacing to the end.

Aroma is ginger, spices.

Taste is ginger, spices, light caramel.

Thin bodied, lively carbonation. Semidry finish.

Very mild tasting, but good beer. Great alternative to summer wheat beers.

12oz can into a pint glass. Best by 11/14/19, so a week late on this one.

Clear pale amber/yellow body with a small white head which shrinks to a ring and faint covering. Still leaves a little lacing.

Smells of ginger and boiled sweets.

It tastes like a not so good ginger candy. A simple idea for a beer, water, malted barley, yeast, hops,....and ginger. I like ginger, but the balance here doesn't hit this palate right. The beer seems a little better as it warms.

Mouth medium, finish ginger lite.

Overall, would rather drink non alcoholic ginger ale than this particular ginger ale.

L - Golden with some clarity and a off-white head that dissipates somewhat quickly, not really leaving a lot of lacing behind.
S - Light notes of ginger and some spices - it actually smells pretty good
T - Something's off - there's some notes of ginger and spices, but it's just off somehow. Some caramel and malts in there as well
F - Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation
O - Eh. I was expecting something better, this has some notes of ginger, but the taste really isn't that good.

L- Nice golden amber pour with a two finger head that dissipates to a lingering ring. Spotty sudsy kacing.
N- Light caramel malts with a hint if ginger.
T- Very light flavor profile, but present. There is some character. Caramel, lightly sweet malts with a light but distinct bitter. Hint of floral hops in that. Some light ginger notes finish a pleasant profile.
F- Soft on the palate
O- Steady, rewarding ale with few surprises.
