Description
In 1905, Thomas Fentiman, an iron puddler from Cleckheaton, England was approached by a fellow tradesman for a loan. A deal was struck and a recipe for botanically brewed ginger beer was provided as security. The loan was never repaid so Thomas became the owner of the unique recipe.

275ml bottle poured into a shaker. Ohhh, and it’s a twist-off! Pours a slightly hazy gold with minimal head. Very faint aroma. Some pine-sol and metal. Taste is super sweet. Lemonade mixed with sprite. Light bodied with a sticky texture. No carbonation and a long sweet finish. Overall, I kinda like the taste. If it had some alcohol in it I would be down with it. I could definitely use this as a mixer with some vodka though.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clear amber with a very shortlasting small head. Tastes like Pommac with a hint of maltyness. Very sodalike but more beery than Berliner Kindl’s Berliner weissen

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of lemonade (Sprite/7Up), lemon, tropical fruit and a touch of toffee. Fruity, spicy taste with lemon, ginger, orange, lemonade and hints of toffee. Thin body, fairly sweet. As a soda it’s actually quite tasty and nice. As a beer? Well, hard to say, since I’m not sure it is supposed to be here. But it’s here, so I’ll rate it. decent and quite drinkable.

Bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. A clear, golden beer with a small, white head. Bready, beery, cellary nose with some dried fruit notes. Rather lemony flavor, some beer in the back. A little bitterness and some bread in the end. Thin on the palate. Not bad, but nothing I would drink a lot of if available. 100815
