Description

Ginger Ale was originally carbonated with Co2, just like real beer. But since this carbonated drink was too stout for taste, the recipe was changed to ginger and flavoured syrup combined with carbonated water which is what we know as Ginger ale. It has a natural tart and peppery flavour.

Ginger ales come in two forms: golden ginger ale and dry ginger ale. Golden ginger ale, which is the older style, is dark colored and strong flavoured. Dry ginger ale is mellow as compared to Golden ginger ale.
