Who's been drinking this

Pours a beautiful ginger ale-like golden amber. Wonderful scent, reminiscent of "GuaranĂ¡ Antarctica" soda, with its dry, ambiguous berry flavor. That fruit is prominent in the foretaste, followed by a slight tart dryness, and then (reminding you it's a beer) a touch of pilsner-like bitterness. This would have made for a refreshing, light summer beer, except that the aftertaste is really off-putting: rooty, mineral, astringent. Quite unpleasant, and a shame.
