Canada Dry Ginger Ale

3

Score - 3

I’m simply not a fan of this, it technically has the flavor you want I guess, but it tastes so bland. Its bubbliness is too low and has a pretty vapid flavor. If you threw this in a suicide from any standard drink fountain it would get drowned out easily, as a big ginger ale fan i still will drink this if offered but I will judge those who this is their first choice.

Had this soda at del taco . Not a good soda and my number 5 combo steak and avacado burrito was horrible. I mean it wasn’t inedible because I ate the whole thing but the steak tasted like salty beef jerky and there was way too many beans in it. The fries were whatever but lets be real fries and burritos? That’s wack; normally I really like del taco but everytime I think of the taste of this burrito i kinda get shivers.

Score - 6.8

Girlfriend bought one of these trying to buy the ginger beer and accidentally got the ginger ale. Glad she did, this is really different from a lot of the ginger ales I’ve had before now. Doesn’t really have too much of a bite but replaces it with a little bit of the funk that you get from ginger beer. In my opinion i like that bite so that is the result of the lower score for me but if that’s something that turns you off from other craft ginger ales then this is the one for you

Vernor’s Ginger Soda

8.5

Score - 8.5

Got this one from my local Kroger, as a ginger ale super fan walking into a grocery store is usually a time for you to look around disappointed at crappy selection and then run out with a frown and a tear down your cheek. When I saw a new option posted right next to the other sodas my mood, like a phoenix from the ashes, rose as I bought a 12 pack for me and my friends for a football game. To my surprise this soda delivered. While my favorite ginger ale personally would have a lot of spice, Vernor’s pulls through with just enough kick to appeal to the us ginger fiends while still having enough grocery aisle wide appeal to not be too weird for a less extreme pallet. A great addition to any fridge. A true every man’s soda

Score - 7

When you pull up to the local dad’s dealer after a long days work, and see the promise of a good ole creamy orange extravaganza you pull out your wallet and say give me 20! While the promise gives you high expectations what you get isn’t bad but just a pretty run of the mill soda for what it is, still good because of good sweetness levels, but wish it was fizzier and lacks a certain je ne sais quoi

Finally, a ginger beer so gingery that my toddler won’t even drink it, leaving it all for me. Worth a stop when you’re in Seattle. They’ll make an alcoholic beverage with it, if that’s your thing, and they’ve got a variety of flavors to complicate things, but this original was tasty on its own and worth a stop when in Seattle.
