12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass.

Pours a pale orangish color with a thin ring of foam that fades quickly. Aroma is certainly ginger, and not much else. To me, the ginger aroma is not appetizing.

First sip is exceptionally dry, with a astringent ginger finish. Second sip is not much better. Minimal maltiness, just a very crisp finish with ginger flavor.

This is a total miss for me. I don't mind the flavor of ginger in general, but contained in a beer with little else to complement the flavor, it just doesn't resonate with me. Glad I only bought a single of this one.

Pours an orangish golden with a slight white head. Smell is pretty much straight up pickled ginger, like I what you get at a sushi bar. A touch of sweet malt is hiding out in there too though. Flavor follows suit, A crisp, active mouthfeel. Overall, the beer is bright, crisp and refreshing but you better love pickled ginger to dig this. Unfortunately for me, I don't like picked ginger.

You know, this is rated pretty low outside of Beeradvocate. But you know what? Although it's nothing to write home about, it's a decent beer. I only bought one bottle at a store where I usually buy a bunch of singles, but had I bought a 6-pack, I wouldn't be upset. I don't always have the best vocabulary when describing beers, but I can at least say that I'm not one to favor one style too much over another, and I've tried over a thousand different beers (although I've only rated a few), and this one doesn't belong at the bottom of the list; maybe just below the middle. Not bad.
