Had on tap at the brewery 09/07/11.
Pours a pale amber colour, clear and mostly still. Head is decent, with dense foam that dissipates before too long. Pretty boring.
Smells sweet and gingery. Nice ginger character though with spice and sweet gingerbread kind of notes. Kind of a lime touch to it as well, just a freshness that is quite welcome. Pretty decent ginger ale aroma, but could be less sweet.
Taste starts off very malty, with a sweet grain overlying a mostly watery body. Ginger comes through early mid with nice tangy spice, but never reaches any highs of actual spice piquancy. It's more of a tangy flavour really, which is quite nice, but I really wouldn't mind more ginger heat. To be honest I've had non-alcoholic ginger beers that have more exciting spice palates. This is still not too bad though, better than I expected.
Mostly thin body, quite smooth, bit of texture from the spice and not a lot else.
This is probably the best ginger beer I've had in Australia, but that's not saying much.

This brew pours a pale golden hue very similar to a Kolsch and has nice carbonation that leaves behind a frothy two finger head that slowly settles down to a half head and leaves behind little sporadic lacing,the smell is obviously dominated by the ginger but also allows some fruity,floral esters on the nose aswell,it has a light bodied well carbonated mouthfeel and has tastes of ginger,brown sugar,light citrus and finished off with ginger again and overall ive had better ginger beers thats for sure cheers.
