A number of years ago, the good folks at Saranac started their Jed's line of alcoholic ginger beers which includes the Moscow Mule, Mexican Mule & Mojito. All three of the beers in this line are made with spicy ginger beer and lime juice, but I had not seen any of them until coming across the original Moscow Mule in a beer store in upstate New York.
The Moscow Mule pours nearly clear with a little green hue. There was some white foam, but no lacing. The first smell when I brought the glass to my face was ginger and the initial sip was mostly ginger and spice. There are no hops, no pine, no malt, its just ginger and lime. This might be nice as a light mix drink at a social function (only 5.9% abv) but its not beer.
Jed's Mule Kicker Moscow Mule is under the Kosher Supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit as is every other beer produced at the Matt Brewery plant in Utica, NY. Keep in mind, Saranac brews some varieties off site, so check the cans/bottles for kosher certification from the Va'ad of Detroit.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
