Stones Premium Alcoholic Ginger Beer

Bottle: I thought this was pretty nice, so I was surprised to see the other ratings for it. Oh well... Very, veryh pale yellow green. Nice fresh giner aroma with some sugar, citrus, and touches of floral notes. In the mouth a slightly dead malt note mid-palate took away from what would otherwise have been a refreshing, quenching ginger freshness. Some pleasant lingering citrus notes. Not too keen on the preservatives - couple of points off for that...

Tis all gingery. I do like a bit of ginger beer so having alcohol in it makes it even better. IT’s a bit hard to compare it to other beers cause it tastes like, well, ginger. So in terms of all the standard beer ratings it’s a bit off the wall. So here goes: Aroma is great, all very gingery which overpowers anything else aside from the slightly metalic overtones (which could just be older ginger). Appearance is pretty shocking. It looks like traditional lemonade, so all very un-beer like aside from the cloudiness. Flavour is very much of ginger strangly enough. Ginger with a bit more ginger. A tad too sweet for me, so we need a dry ginger beer please stones. There is a slight lingering aftertaste which reminds of, hmmm, ginger I think. But after that theres a hint of something I can’t identify, but it lets you know you’ve had a drink with alcohol in it. It’s a kind of light soft handover breath that targets teh side of the tongue. Gawd. Overall though I like it and you could very eaily drink it without even noticing the alcohol which will make a favourite with the underage drinkers of Australia.

In the bottle. Pours cloudy white/yellow similar in appearance to the old soda pop known as "Wink." Ginger is the overpowering aroma. A very sweet flavor with the ginger emerging after the sweetness subsides. This has a long palate, but it is just way too sweet for me.

Murky pale yellow colour. Sweet ginger aroma. Sweet ginger flavour and fizzy palate.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a cloudy greenish with only the tiniest white head - mostly looks like a lemon tonic pop. Sweet aroma of lemon and ginger. Light in body, very sweet and sugary with delicious ginger notes that leaves a discreet hot bite. No bitterness. Scaringly the alcohol is not felt at all, this really appears like a normal non-alcoholic Ginger Beer. 130208

Bottle. Cloudy white yellow with no head. Initially a reasonable ginger aroma. Lively carbonation and medium body. The flavour has some nice ginger bite but is very sweet. It’s initially refreshing, but way too sweet and this builds up to make it quite disappointing.

24 Apr 2006 - Sweet ginger aroma. Very light yellow-white cloudy colour low carbonation. Sweet simple ginger flavour. Easy drinking lacks a spark. Basically its lolly water.

Tried this back in sept. last year with 3 other ginger beers. Pale light green body with no head to speak about. Sweet taste but not too heavy, ginger not too full on, this was probably runner up in the four that I tried. Refreshing enough and better balanced than a couple of the others, I just don’t think I would have more than one or two.
