This beer pour a rich reddish gold color. The nose is dominated by fresh ginger, but this fades as it warms up. The taste is very faint. I don't get much spice here, but I do not get much hop flavor either. Overall, this was pretty bland. I am always excited about the potential of ginger in beer, but this was not well executed.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.75
Look: Crystal clear copper color. Qute active at first, but head dissipates quickly.

Smell: Ginger and spice. Slight caramel and malt.

Taste: Very earthy and peppery at first. Ginger is in there, but isn't over powering. Gets sweet and malty soon after. Dries out some and faddes with the herbal and ginger aftertaste.

Feel: Medium body. Less carbonation and a bit flat after a few minutes.

Overall: Tasty. Good as not too strong on the Ginger like some other Ginger Brews that I have had.

22oz bottle, from the beer aisle at the Yoke's across the street from my hotel in Ponderay, Idaho, a few weeks ago.

This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some melting iceberg lace around the glass as it gently subsides.

It smells of crisp, zesty ginger root, bready pale and caramel malt, fleshy orange, and faint earthy, weedy hop bitters. The taste is much less gingery than the aroma promised, as the root character comes through much more readily than the spice, with a sturdy grainy maltiness, some middling orange pithiness, and a mild earthy bitterness, that is hard to discern as being hop or guest ingredient oriented.

The carbonation is fairly peppy in its broadly-rendered frothiness, the body on the lee side of middleweight, and more or less smooth, neither the ginger nor any other attendant bitterness capable of messing around here. It finishes trending dry, the grainy and faintly biscuity malt trailing off, while an echo of the sassy ginger that was reverberates in the distance.

Not a bad ginger beer, the initial headiness of the spice drawing you in, and then stepping back to let the simple base ale take us along for the rest of that merry ride. Yeah, the ginger never really leaves this offering, but it does well to not be overbearing or overstaying, which I have to say I kind of appreciate.
