0.33 l bottle from Vrutak, Zagreb. Shared with PBF pivica. Clear golden, small off-white head. Ginger juice, gingerbread, sugary aroma. Spices. Not too perfumy. Drinkable. Spicy, not too sweet. Quite natural ginger flavour. Light body, moderate carbonation, light finish.

Old rate discovered when I was trying to work out why my spreadsheet total didn’t match up with RB. Gift from the Outlaws (cheers!), drunk 26/12/2019. Gold-coloured and fizzy. Warming ginger, very sweet. Nothing else – it’s very one-dimensional. The sweetness is a bit much by the end, feels like it’s dissolving your teeth. It’s not great, but I do like ginger so may have rated it higher than it really deserves!

500ml bottle from Sainsbury's Darlington. Gluten Free. Golden amber colour, fizzy bubbly white foam head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of ginger. Taste is sweet, ginger, sugary, tangy & spiced, warming. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry & sweet ginger ale finish. Kind of OK.
