Pours amber orange with a creamy frothy white foam head. Smells like sweet medicinal fresh candied ginger, ginger soda, ginger root, juiced ginger, honey lemon ginger, sweet, candied, almost fruity, healthy, invigoratingly fresh, so much pungent ginger, with some floral earthy herbal spice. Tastes like sour lemons and ginger, sweet, spicy, sour, almost salty, floral, zingy, bright and tart, ginger 5 ways, candied, pickled, fresh, juiced, honey lemon ginger tea, slight malty honey base, with a touch of floral earthy spice. Feels medium bodied, creamy with smooth moderate carbonation. Overall a really great sour ale aged on ginger.

A: Poured into a Duvel tulip to a deep golden orange topped by a half finger of white head which fades quickly to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing.
S: Smells of ginger and light sourness with some sweet malty notes
T: Taste is ginger up front with some nice clean sourness throughout. Hint of maltyness as well but just plenty of ginger and that clean sourness. Swallow is more ginger and sourness with a hint of funk at the very back end.
M: This beer has a moderate amount of body with a hint of an oily feel on the palate. Carbonation is light and effervescent while the beer has a drying finish from the acidity.
O: Overall kind of a basic ginger sour beer. It's interesting but the ginger comes across a little too strong which makes it a two note beer. It isn't bad though but if you don't like ginger you won't like this.

by brentk56 from North Carolina
Appearance: The liquid pours out clear and a dark shade of amber; the head is rather skimpy and fades to a ringlet; dotty lacing
Smell: Overwhelming ginger aroma with some funky Brett tones
Taste: The ginger overwhelms from start to finish, with some funk in the mid-palate; the tartness builds, after the swallow but it is the ginger that dominates the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with low to moderate carbonation
Overall: An interesting experiment that really didn't work for me

750ml bottle, served in a stemless glass. Pours a hazy golden body, one finger white head, decent one finger white head, decent retention, not much lacing. Smell is heavy on the ginger, dry and cleansing, spicy with a hefty acetic acidity in the backend, some salt, clean spices. Flavour is a clean dry salt presence, spice, acetic acidity, and a heavy amount of ginger. I love ginger with just about everything, so that isn't a problem for me, so I think it is reasonably hefty. Mouthfeel is lighter bodied, dry, good carbonation, dry finish due to the ginger. Enjoyed drinking this one, good presence, nice lemon dryness on the backend.

Not a fan of sours. Beer pours a beautiful golden color with a small white head. The smell is ok with some ginger. The flavor is sour with a hit of ginger it reminds me of champagne. Overall not one of Prairies best.

"Prairie" is the easiest word that's hard to spell.
Okay, so apparently this is a bit aged. But it's undated, and so I consider that fair game.
Nice pour. Hazy yellow, heavy fizz, nice white head.
Smells like brett and ginger. The age has allowed the ginger to sharpen and most likely has dulled the tartness a bit but I have to say this gels together real well.
Tastes good, but not as good as it smells. Sharp brett on the very beginning and then ginger and yeast dominate the rest of the way with a bit of tartness on the finish. It's still very solid, even in spite of its age.

From Degustasur. In Teku glass. Playing Custome Quest 2. Lemony, with ginger and sour notes combined in not excessively strong fashion at first but becoming overwhelming as warms up

Waaaaaay too much ginger. This isn't really a sour beer anymore, but a ginger beer with a bit of tartness. Yes I'm biased, but not a ginger person and that's all this is
