On tap at GABS festival in Melbourne, May 2014.
Pours a champagne/pale straw kind of colour. So pale. Nice cloud to it with nice head. Pretty furious bead. Actually looks pretty decent.
Smells quite rich. Rich figs on there with sweet ginger spice character. Nice edge. I'm quite impressed really.
Taste is less rich, sadly, as I was quite enjoying that fig character. All just spice and tang, with ginger and a touch of lime. Not bad but nothing exciting.
Body is thin, and the furious carbonation noted above really cuts through in an unpleasant way.
I'm not really a ginger beer fan. There's a decent spice to this, but it doesn't have quite enough of a 'twist'.

Tried on-tap at GABS in Melbourne. Touted as a "ginger beer with a twist", the twist, apparently, being figs.
Pours a very pale lemon colour with solid hazing throughout. Body is fairly clean and light with fine carbonation. Head forms a fine ring of white that leaves some lace rings. Looks pretty decent.
Nose is heavy on the ginger, with a big spicy crispness from the addition. Under this is a slight jammy sweetness which is fairly pleasant too.
Nice light entry on the palate with some zesty ginger coming through early. Unfortunately, everything drops away pretty quickly leaving the middle empty and dry, and the back very weak, allowing a pronounced yeasty character to come through on the finish. Feel is light, but suitable for the type of beer.
It's still pretty drinkable despite some of its drawbacks. The "twist" is nowhere to be found, but it's a fairly inoffensive alcoholic ginger beer all the same.
