Hard to put in my beer listing. It taste exactly like the ginger ale pop. If you look for a beer that don't taste beer you got it.
Fun to drink, but really not comparable to a beer.

This is an insipid, thin, fruity brew. I'm not sure it should be called a brew for that matter. It's slightly cloudy like fermented apple juice has less body than apple juice and smells like fruity ginger ale. Does not taste like beer, again more like apple juice. Worse than the faux ciders that are so popular right now. This was a real disappointment. Avoid.

Appearance - this beer pours the color of apple juice with quite a bit of carbonation, the head dissapeared fast.
Aroma - this beer smells sweet, very similar to gingerale, I get ginger roots, sugar, apple.
Taste - much like the smell, but with a slight pine bitterness.
Feel - light bodied with sharp prickly carbonation.
Overall - If you want gingerale to get drunk on otherwise meh. Decent art though. Lol

Couldn't drink much of it. A nice change for a few sips, but not worth a tall can without sharing. Cool can design and epic story.

A- Nice artwork on the can and no preservatives! How nice!! The beer itself is a ginger ale color and this has got to be one of the worst heads I've ever seen....it's a flash in the pan of white bubbles and just like pop, it's gone! Carbonation seems to be mellow enough and there is virtually no lacing to speak of....I'm skeptical at best based on the look.
S- Sweet smelling and of artificial aromas....there is ginger but it is candied....very much of apples....this is quite different than I expected and not necessarily in a good way....no real malt, no hopped finish and I have to agree with the other review....smells of Sprite! Not good....
T- This tastes very much the way it smells....like Sprite with sparkling apple juice and perhaps a hint of ginger extract on the finish...nothing much else going on here.....what is this swill...I've made better tasting mixers than this!
M/O- This is light bodied and crisp, but in a heavily carbonated sort of way....if I wanted to drink pop I would have just cracked a can and blended with something....this should be marketed as a cooler rather than a beer....this isn't anything of the sort. Is there alcohol in this? Was this made from Barley? I'm convinced that the answer to both of these questions is a resounding 'NO!' Crazy Beard needs to go back outside and find another ginger root to have a tug of war with...the grizzlies can have this!

473ml can, the latest joint from this Toronto marketing company to make it out west - I guess those commie tax changes didn't scare THEM off!
This beer pours a clear, medium golden amber colour, with one finger of super-wispy dirty white head, which blows off in mere seconds, leaving nothing in the way of lace anywhere in the vicinity of the glass.
It smells of sugary, if a bit zingy ginger soda, a weird green herbal thing, a touch of out of touch apple fruitiness, and a hint of acrid earthy yeast. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy malt (not really), Sprite mixed with economy brand ginger ale, and a still strange herbal, leafy, and weedy bitterness.
The carbonation is rather soft and innocuous is its wannabe frothiness, the body a tacky middleweight, and smooth, I suppose, much in the manner of that sugary lemon/lime Slurpee flavour mentioned earlier. It finishes off-dry, the ginger really starting to wane, leaving the remains of a really shitty and pithy 'malt' day.
Yeah, there's nothing either 'crazy' nor 'mad' about this ginger beer offering, at least as far as the contents of the glass go, but in terms of their obsequious attempt to grab some Crabbie's and Royal Jamaican market share, uh huh, these gringos be loco, man. Not really worth the loonie and twoonie that this is gonna cost you - so just go to fucking 7-11 on the way home instead.
