beer_name: Brewer Patriot Collection - Traditional Ginger Honey Ale
text: from notes 25Nov2006. Pours a pale gold, reminiscent of honey (ha,ha), with a very thin head that fades quickly to almost nothing. There's only scattered bits of lacing. Smell; lots of ginger, which is to be expected, but I'm also getting a little lemon. The honey is there, it's just a little hard to pick out with the ginger being so strong. Taste; the ginger isn't quite as strong as it was in the aroma, and I'm glad. I don't think i could drink this if it was. The honey ands a nice sweetness, and the lemon adds just enough sour to offset that. This isn't a beer that I would ever purposely buy, but it wasn't a drain pour either. Mouthfeel is definitely on the thin side, and the lack of carbonation just adds to that feeling. The drinkability is OK, but the ginger would make it hard to drink more than this one bottle.
