The beer pours a cloudy dark gold colour with a long lasting foamy white head. The aroma is passion fruit, oranges, cereal grains, and dishsoap. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is mellow compared to the aroma. More tropical fruit flavours, some grains, with a mildly hoppy finish. Great fruitiness in this one. -

The beer pours a solid lemon gold colour with orange highlights and a white creamy, rocky head that lasts a few minutes. Nice lacing down the glass. The aroma is light grass, citrus, some weak peppery spice, yeast, and earthy hops. The hoppy earthiness grows as the beer warms. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is multidimensional….the first thing you get is the grassy malts and the fruity citrus, and then you’re hit with the habanero pepper, and from that point on, all you can taste (and feel) is the pepper aspect of this beer. -

The beer pours a hazed gold colour with a generous light tan coloured bubbly head. Lacing is light. The aroma is grassy malt, light tea, and weak spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour dominated by what tastes like ginger with weak hints of tea and bready malt. The can mentions blackberry as a flavour but I’m getting none -

The beer pours a very hazy light gold colour with a rocky bubbly head that lasts a few minutes. The ginger dominates the aroma, although one can detect light cereal grains, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is lemonade and ginger, there is no other way to describe it. The ginger provides a huge finishing bite. -
