Ginger Snap not as Snappy as expected

While the Saison beer tasted just fine, I wish I would have made it a little “snappier”. Still enjoyable however.

Light ginger flavor...but still good!

This is the second time I have made this beer. First time was extract. Even though the ginger flavor isn't as strong as I would like, the overall flavor is still very good. Next time I will adjust to increase the ginger flavor, maybe leave the ginger candy in thru secondary as another reviewer says.

This works! (with a slight change)

I read a bunch of negative comments about the flavor. Many said it lacked that "ginger" bite/flavor. So when I made it I left a few slices of the ginger (from the boil) in the primary fermenter. When I pulled it out after the usual 2 weeks it had a nice ginger flavor on the front and back end - without being a "punch you in the face" flavor (like a Moscow Mule or something).*I recommend this if you like ginger, and consider my tip - or just putting a few pieces of candied ginger in a secondary fermenter. My only complaint is that I couldn't get it to taste like the cookie... but I am going to work on that next time.

Not good

Followed all directions, and the beers flavor was not ginger like at all. Nor was it an enjoyable flavor. Do not buy this beer kit.

No tickle on the nose

This beer probably deserves a 4 or 5 if what you are looking for is a ginger snap cookie since you are using candied ginger. I doubled down on the candied ginger hoping for more oomph. I go oomph, but not ginger and no nose tickle. For that, one probably needs real grated ginger in the boil. Just guessing... Anyway, it wasn't what I was expecting, but with half a lime squeezed in, it tastes just like a Mule, so all is not lost. Won't make my rotation list though.
