Wow, really a good one. Make sure you follow the directions on the bite for how to pour, very important. Savor this one, smooth on the way down, golden cloudy, ginger pops when the shoot gets near it. Nice.

Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a murky golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is a full rush of ginger. The taste follows the nose.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Sampled on May 1, 2017.
It pours a slight hazy light to medium amber-yellow with a quick lasting head.
The aroma is overpowered by the ginger root. I pick up a little twist of citrus under that but little else.
Light to medium body.
When they say this has ginger they are not kidding. That's the main emphasis of the flavor. I like ginger but I don't like it in my face like it is here. Almost a burning hot pepper finish. I was not impressed.

12oz bottle.
Pours with a fizzy amber body. The white head quickly recedes to a thin partial top coat despite prickly, medium-high carbonation. Simple ginger dominated aroma with wheat. The flavor is better, but you'd better like ginger. There's enough ginger to give this some warmth but not so much as to completely hide the grains.
Medium body.

From the bottle, it pours a hazy amber with a slight head, quickly diminishing to nothing. Ginger in the nose. Ginger in the mouth, with a spiciness in the finish.
