Hatherwood The Ginger Grizzly
Lidl GB

 

Looks like a normal lager. Foam looks a bit like soda foam. Smells very sweet, also tastes very sweet. The ginger packs a real punch at the end. Tastes a lot like a better desperados. Still not amazing tho.

There might be a Ginger Beer in it but it's disgustingly sweet and borderline undrinkable.

Okay if you're thirsty - but you won't want another. I love real Ginger Beer but this is pretty vile, to be frank: over-sweet, a lot of ginger smell but not much in the taste. If you're thirsty you can get through maybe half a bottle but the sweetness, taste and smell will combine to make the other half a real effort.

After half a glass or so I started to really get the after-taste but couldn't quite place it - then it hit me: it tastes like antiseptic, Dettol to be specific.

One to be avoided!

Easy to drink
Nice and light
I find it nicer than Crabbies. Not as fizzy or gingery

From Lidl. In Ikea's pint glass. At dinner, with turkey steaks. No foam. Feels like a gas refreshment. The ginger flavors arent disgusting but very zesty, making it slow to drink.
