My favourite brother was kind enough to provide me with a bottle of Williams Brothers Ginger Beer. I found it quite surprising because I didn't like it much.
Previously I had assumed that the main reason I didn't like beer was because of the hops, but this drink has proven that's not entirely the case. Certainly I don't like the bitter hoppy taste but it turns out I also don't like the yeasty beeriness either. Well, given a complete lack of understanding around what beer taste is composed of, that's what I'm assuming. The label on the back of the bottle proudly proclaims that it's a ginger beer with a distinctly beery taste. And, well, it is. Unfortunately I don't like that much. My sous-taster, the lovely Hej, also took one sip and nearly spat it back into the glass so it's not just me. I did at least finish it but only because it would have been criminal waste not to.
Overall I'd give it a 2/10 - for emergencies only.
Is there any hope for you? :-(
ReplyDeleteI did have a lovely Mint Julep the other day... Oh wait, that's what you're talking about, isn't it? So it would seem not.
