As is always the way, time has to pass between the drink going in the bottle and the time you can actually drink it. Fortunately that is only a couple of weeks so it isn't too long to wait. A couple of weeks have passed since I bottled my ginger beer so it was time to try the handiwork. There hadn't been any bottles explode so that was a good start. I decided to start with ginger beer from one of the glass bottles. It poured out nice and golden, but it wasn't as cloudy as I had come to expect from ginger beer. That's OK though as it is really about the taste. Unfortunately, the taste was not great. There was certainly a taste of ginger there, but it just didn't have the bite from the ginger, or even the fizz that gets up your nose. None of that I am afraid. Not sure if it was the cold temperature or the lack of sugar in an attempt to make it non-alcoholic but this one sure hasn't lived up to expectations. My wife agrees. I now have thirty odd bottles of mediocre ginger beer to drink. Perhaps I will learn to like it with time...
