This is a prime example of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”

The best beer I have tried since Curmudgeon. So sweet up front like toffee mixed with guava. The ginger kicks in shortly after with mild heat and some boozyness. The finish reveals the barrel aging and finally lingering rum notes.

Lots of ginger spice. Interesting and something different.

I can’t rate this as a Golden Ale. It’s closer to a Moscow Mule. The aroma is flowery ginger. And there’s a good bit of ginger heat on the palate. But I also get the rum and some fruitiness from the guava. Absolutely uniquely wonderful.

Ginger Smiles is in production and is sexy as hell. Looking down the top of this curvy lady feels liberating. A little sharp to start but utterly fascinating as you breathe her in.

Strong guava nose. Guava tastrw and then a solid spicy ginger after taste. I normally don't like sweet beers but this one is damn solid. I hate that it's 20 bucks a bomber.

Strong delightful ginger and guava, and the rum barrel comes thru like a freight train! Holy Wah!

Whoa. The aroma on this is great. Like a sweet guava ginger ale. Sweet, fruity, and just a hint of ginger. The flavor is more rum dominated. The spice of the ginger comes through and the barrel is a little more potent than I’d like to see for this

Enjoyed for our 9th wedding anniversary. Such an odd beer, but we both loved it!

Wow! Strong up front. Tons of agave taste. Sweet finish. A real treat

I'm liking this more than most. The golden strong ale is hidden behind the ginger and guava. Rum barrel aging could use some mellowing out. Think ginger ale with a shot of Don Q 151 rum. All that said, I like it.

From last night. Lots of ginger in the nose. Too much rum when drinking. Kind of a mess, actually. One could peddle this as snake oil.

Should be called Rum Smiles. Searching for ginger amidst rum booziness and guava bitterness.

Different golden than I’ve had before, but as a ginger and guava lover, this beer is right up my alley! Excellent.

Sweet, fruity nose. Boozy. Ginger bite. Nice tropical fruit, guava flavor. Strong. Sweet, rum, sugary finish. Good beer.

It has a very strong rum taste. It tastes more like liquor than beer. This is very heavy drink. The sampler is enough for me day drinking at 11.8%

The guava was unexpected. It’s really sweet. In a way I don’t love.

Unique and interesting but disappointing as well. Guava presents unexpectedly as floral and overpowers the Ginger. Reminiscent of Rum Runner (unfortunately). I like the idea of Rum aging but, I would recommend using a different Rum Barrel source.

Wow, this one has a LOT going on. The ginger and guava kinda hit you right in the mouth, and there’s like a bit of a bubbly vibe to it. Don’t think I’d drink a lot of this, but def worth trying. Very interesting.

Reminds me of cough medicine. The rum and ginger are not blending well for me.
