It is unexpectedly nice, and very very drinkable.

That is all.

Yes I recently discovered the alcoholic ginger beer. Nice but very sugary, kind of an alco-pop for while you do the Guardian crossword.

The ginger beer.

I had some a couple of weekends ago, but I was already drunk at the time, so didn't believe my memory of it. Bought a couple of bottles at the supermarket yesterday and polished them off in short order this evening while bleeding brakes and cooking roast pork.

I wonder if the off license around the corner sells it....

Wonderful stuff; got through so, so much over the summer.

I love they way they say on the bottle that you may add vodka, so I would...

Thought it was pretty nasty when I had it.

...but then I am currently drinking some 7% Brothers Festival Pear Cider.

As has been said, it's nice for a couple. Then it's too sweet/gingery/bleugh! We have it for breakfast at festivals, with a JD in it. Crab Daniels is the future.

Gives me an horrendous sore throat/acid reflux situation.

Tastes nice at first, but I doubt I drink more than 10 or 11...
