A gorgeous pack of 4 bottles in the well known Luscombe style. The packaging is a gorgeous box is sturdy and has a helpful carry rope, information about the products and the brand. It would totally make a lovely gift especially if accompanied with a bottle of someone’s favourite rum or as a stand alone gift for us non drinkers.
I am a ginger beer drinker and especially one that sends tingles down your spine and gives a little shake from the inside out, so I was really looking forward to trying these. In the pack you get 3 different types, Cool. Hot and Passion Fruit. I have never tasted a flavoured ginger beer before so was intrigued!
Luscombe uses spring water that comes direct into their farm, and contains all organic fruit, not concentrates. They have a Royal Warrant, over 110 Great Taste Award stars from the Guild of Fine Food and are featured in many of our top end supermarkets.
Cool Ginger Beer
This is a very subtle blend so if you are new to ginger beer this is a good place to start. Light and refreshing, it is easy to drink on its own and as a mixer for pale spirits.
Devon Spring Water, Organic Raw Cane Sugar, Organic Sicilian Lemon Juice (3%), Organic Root Ginger (2%), Organic Sicilian Lemons, Brewer’s Yeast, Natural Sweet Blackberry Leaf Flavouring, Organic Lemon Oil, Carbon Dioxide.
Hot ginger Beer
This is the ‘hot’ one and yes it packs more of the kick that ginger beer drinkers would expect and it will definitely hold its own against any spirit, enhancing the cocktail’s overall flavour. Again could be drank on its own over ice and be a very pleasant session drink.
Devon Spring Water, Organic Raw Cane Sugar, Organic Sicilian Lemon Juice (3%), Organic Root Ginger (3%), Organic Sicilian Lemons, Brewer’s Yeast, Natural Sweet Blackberry Leaf Flavouring, Organic Sicilian Lemon Oil, Carbon Dioxide.
Passion Fruit Ginger Beer
So this was a new twist on the usual solo ginger beer flavour for me and it was pleasant, sweet and had a little ginger kick, so it’s good for those with a sweeter tooth and who do not want that fiery kick. Both flavours are very subtle and so great for those who prefer this as an easy to drink summer refreshment or as a mixer for a hearty spirit.
Devon Spring Water, Organic Raw Cane Sugar, Organic Passion Fruit Juice (6%), Organic Root Ginger (2%), Organic Sicilian Lemon Juice, Brewer’s Yeast, Organic Lemon Oil, Carbon Dioxide.
They all need ice to bring out their flavours.
For me they are too subtle in flavour, even the hot one, as I do like the bold blow your taste buds away from other brands available, however, if you were looking for a great mixer for spirits at special occasion or an alternative to alcoholic bubbles for a celebration drink then these would be fab.
