Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a cloudy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is full of lemons. Taste also has considerable sour lemon, a zing of ginger, slight bitterness, rather unique flavor. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and has average drinkability. Overall this is a pretty good brew.

The beer pours nicely into a dark yellowish color with a thin yellowish white head that has very little lacing, retention and carbonation. The smell has a nice gingery smell with a slight hint of citrus. The body is a medium mouthfeel that clings to the tongue and feels creamy around the cheeks. The taste is a very gingery taste with some citrus flavors. After getting those tastes I get some malty taste with a little hops. This is a very drinkable beer and is a winner from Anheuser-Busch, Inc.

Hazy blonde with cornsilk highlights and a thin skim of shock white foam. Fresh ginger is pretty strong in the aroma with some wheat malt struggling to get through. Assertive ginger is the dominant flavor component with mild coriander and citrus peel spice. Medium bodied with bright carbonation. I think this is a case where this is just more of a pairing beer and would really shine with asian cuisine but is a bit much on it's own.

A - Pours a hazy, yellow color with a bright white head.

S - Total ginger bomb. Slight aroma of wheat but mostly all ginger.

T - Once again all I am tasting is the ginger. There is very little hop or malt flavors to help balance this one out, and it needs it.

M - Fairly thin and watery.

D - Not very drinkable because the ginger is just too overpowering. I think if they toned the ginger down and kicked up the wheat or hops you might have a fair balance.

A- Orange hazy glow, about a one finger head.

S- smells overwhelmingly of ginger, can smell some wheat also and a bit of alcohol.

T- overwhelming ginger taste, not very well balanced. faintly taste the wheat. Has a bitter bite to it

Overall, not a bad beer, but nothing to brag about either. Could easily throw a few back.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
A: Hazy & cloudy if bottom of bottle is swirled. Golden color with very slight amber tinge. Minimal foam and lacing.

S: Distinct Ginger presence on clear, if plain, grainy wheat base. Faintly sweet.

T: Sweetness comes through more in pallet. Distinct ginger again with noticeable citrus on a pretty generic and clean American wheat beer base. A bit grainy and even husky in finish.

M: Medium body with pretty stiff carbonation. Fairly drying, but with a slight bit of sticky sweetness.

D: Distinctly gingery American wheat beer. Not as strong as a true ginger beer, but you cannot miss it. Generic, grainy wheat base otherwise. Sort of liquid ginger wheat bisquit flavored. I can see this going really well with Asian or spicy take-put.

look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. The label has a brief description of the beer along with its abv. (5.2%) There is no readable born on date just an odd number where it should be. (10049vc49)

Appearance: It is pale orangey yellow in color with a cloudy haze. A few tiny bubbles can seen making there way up to the small creamy off white head. The head quickly settles down to a small ring of lace with a thin film island of foam in the middle. Lacing is slick and spotty.

Smell: There is a subtle ginger ale like aroma with light wheat malt underneath.

Taste: There are nice pleasant creamy ginger notes up front that pick up some wheat maltiness and notes of mandarin orange in the middle which gives it a very mild fruity ginger bread character. Hop flavor is barley noticeable. Only a very slight bitterness is preserved in the finish. The body is light and somewhat slick with soft carbonation.

Notes: Overall this is a very drinkable beer with interesting and subtle character. I am on the fence with this one as it is tasty but it also reminded me of soda pop.

Pours a hazy, maize color. One inch head of a white color. Good retention and poor lacing. Smells of strong ginger, slight grain, slight pale malt, hint of wheat, and slight citrus. Fits the style of an American Pale Wheat Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp with an average carbonation level. Tastes of strong ginger, slight pale malt, and slight grain. Overall, ginger dominates all other flavors. Average at best.

Thanks to kingofallales for this one.(sarcastic tone) Just kidding. You da man JB, I'll get ya back. I still owe you for the treat known as Wacko Jacko.

The aroma is that of grandma's ginger candy minus the freshness and natural spiciness of said candy.

The taste is watery, stank wheat, faded ginger candy, once again minus any of the qualities that one might find in ginger. Too sweet. Too watery. No pizzazz.
