FentimansSparkling Ginger Beer - Ginger Beer Non Alcoholic, Ginger Ale with Natural Ginger Root, Craft Soda, No Artificial Flavors or Preservatives, Botanically Brewed - 275 ml Bottles (Pack of 24)

yummmm

Loved how the bottles were packed in bubble wrap to protect them from breaking in its box. This is a well made product (soda) well crafted and has a wonderful taste. I’ve purchased these products in its many flavors and have never been disappointed.

If you have read any of my reviews about food, then you will notice that I like to go on taste journeys. I have tried a total of 6 different brands of ginger beer now. I've tried each by itself, with lemonade (very summery and refreshing), and with bourbon. For my personal taste preferences, I want a ginger beer that stings my nose on the first sip and makes me want to cough. So knowing that, here are my thoughts:By itself: Fentiman's wasn't as strong with the ginger taste compared to Fever Tree or Maine Root, but it definitely had more ginger taste than Bundaberg, Reed's and Cocknbull. It's also a little sweeter to me than Fever Tree or Maine Root, but definitely not as sweet as Bundaberg.With lemonade: This is one of my favorite drinks because of the taste contrast between sour, sweet, and bitter. While Fentiman's is definitely enjoyable with lemonade, it made it sweeter to me and lacked the strong bite that I love from some other brands.With bourbon: Fentiman's was actually really enjoyable with bourbon. I find that sometimes the really bitter ginger beer that I enjoy so much doesn't pair as well with bourbon unless I add something to it like a splash of lemonade/lemon juice (I call them warm lemonades, and they are awesome). With Fentiman's being not as bitter, you can definitely enjoy this mixed by itself with bourbon.Overall with my rankings, I will give it a 4 out of 5.

They did a great job in putting all ingredients together in perfect balance. Nothing is overpowering. Compared to US brands, this wins over all of them. Love this.

Love these. Taste better than standard ginger beers and less calorific and sugary too.

This review is just to supplement other "1" ratings. One bottle of the four was broken. Obviously poor boxing and shipping. This may be a wonderful product and I may submit a subsequent review but I feel it important to let others know to expect broken merchandise. I understand these are bottles but Fever Tree doesn't have this problem with their bottles. Maybe Fentimans shouls try cans. Anyway, I knew this result was possible but I want to let others know what to expect and to be careful broken glass when opening the box.

I was skeptical of this because Merry Old England isn't known for food and drinks that have flavor or bite.This did nothing to change my mind. It has a weak ginger taste and no bite. It isn't ginger beer if it isn't biting the back of your throat. If it were marked as ginger ale, it would be a solid 4-star.At least it doesn't have artificial stuff and HFCS. That is why it is three stars, instead of two.It is better than most ginger beer made in the US, but the US isn't known for taste or quality. Its levels of quality and taste are even lower than those in the UK.Jamaica remains the king of ginger beer.

I grew up drinking homemade ginger beer on the island of St. Croix U.S.V.I. and can tell when ginger beer is made from syrup and when it's been fermented and as far as I'm concerned, fermented is the only way ginger beer should be made.I've tried several mass-produced ginger beers and only 2 come close to the way my grandmother made it in the Caribbean, Fentimans and a certain hot-headed tree. Both brands have a slightly different taste due to their preference of ingredients used (Fentimans has a more pronounced citrus flavor while the other is sweeter and with a note of pepper) but both are fermented and absolutely delicious.If it doesn't bite you in the throat, it's not real ginger beer.
