On Ginger Beer - Drinking Batch 2

[danieldwilliam]

Cracked open a couple of bottles of Batch 2 Gold today whilst watching the rugby.

Gold blend is the beefier blend with extra ginger and lemon from lemon rind.

1st bottle was nicely bright. Big flavour; good ginger but the lemon is little bitter. It's giving a decent backbone to the taste but it's probably too much.

2nd bottle was a bit fiercer on the ginger and this helped with the overly bitter lemon. I also managed the sediment better when pouring.

So next Gold Blend probably has half the lemon. Need to have a think about counter-acting the bitterness but retaining the structure.

I do like a good fierce ginger beer!

Me too.

I think this batch might benefit from a little honey in the glass or perhaps a little rum.
