Game Day Beer Review: Good Juju (Ginger Ale) Spiced Beer

(4.80% ABV)  Drunk during American Craft Beer Week at Tap 42 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  Good Juju (Ginger Ale) poured a caramel gold color with a fluffy white head.

The smell of ginger was immediately apparent.

The beer had a decent ginger spice on the finish, with some orange and vanilla also apparent. We found it to be a very nice and refreshing beer, and something different than everything else out there -- certainly sessionable. Good Juju had just the right amount of carbonation and very clean finish.  B

Game Day Beer Review: Short's Brewing Nicie Spicie Spiced Wheat Ale

(5.20%) From the bottle. Nicie Spicie pours a viscous, lemonish yellow, with a cloudy appearance and just the thinnest white line of head. The smell is definitely citrusy orange, with just the barest hint of ginger. The first thing that hits me upon tasting is that this is different than most other spiced wheat beers I've ever had. I like it -- alot. With just a little hint of ginger, it's refreshing and clean tasting, and thinner than you might expect. As I continue to drain my glass I'm getting a bit of white pepper on the finish, which gets steadily hotter as you drink, but never too hot. This is a really good beer, a very different take on one of my absolute favorite styles. I give it an A.
