Martin the Mildman		24 Sep 2011	Another beer that from the pumpclip seems to have changed strength since the new brewery started. An excellent pale ale with just the right amount of ginger which doesn't impinge on the hop and malt balance. My score 16/20.

Martin the Mildman		26 Feb 2011	Not normally a fan of beers with Ginger added but this was excellent, very sweet with just a faint tang of ginger and good hop and malt character to support it. Still brewed at Larkins. My score 16/20.
