Style: Good Juju (Ale Brewed with Ginger)
Origin: Longmont, Colorado
Overall: C+
Drawn in by the name of a well known brewery and interesting label. The Left Hand Brewing Co.'s Good Juju brew failed to impress. It started out well with a pleasant sweet aroma but disappoints on flavor. I was happy with the ginger flavor, unhappy with the chemical like bitterness and aftertaste. Fans of hoppy beers will like this brew, I on the other hand, enjoy smoother finishes.
Aroma: A Hints of a honey like sweetness combined with the tangyness of ginger linger over the classic ale aroma. It is different, and I like that.
Taste & Mouth Feel: C As I drink it in I am initially hit with a nice carbonation and a crisp, hoppy flavor. As it mulls around my mouth more tangy notes appear and the hoppyness remains. On the finish, a slight sweetness appears along with a lemon, ginger aftertaste. The taste is a little more bitter than I would like and has a slight chemical aftertaste.
Color: B+ Pours a clear amber tone with almost no head. Slightly darker than your every day ale. Nice to look at.
