In previous years I've found myself buying stout but lately I've been looking over the ciders that have replaced beer on the shelves at my Woolies.
I bought an alcoholic ginger beer called Frank's because it said it had a genuine flavour. Turned out the flavour was beer with some ginger syrup. There was another brand with a redheaded bloke on the label which also seemed to be gingered beer.
So I started looking very carefully at the labels and found this one called John Hollows to be a proper alcoholic ginger beer. Which may be why they say to be wary of imitations on the label, which calls their recipe 'botanical'.
The flavour balances sweet and dry and I found it to be very moorish but the sugar content felt like one was enough.
