Hey, if you have gotten over your ginger beer shell shock and decide to do another review, please include Jamaca's Finest Ginger Beer from the Natrona Bottling Company. I think it's far better than those citrus-y, honey, pineapple-y, fruity, too-sweet, brew-y beverages you have tried.
Cheers!

I'm a big fan of Barritts, which used to be part of the "official" recipe for a Dark 'n' Stormy according to the company that makes Goslings Black Seal Rum (which has apparently trademarked the name "Dark 'n' Stormy" and their version of the recipe).

Barritts is no longer listed as part of the recipe since Goslings now markets their own Goslings brand ginger beer. Haven't tasted it myself but there's a discussion on LTHForum.com from those who have.

I like Barritts Bermuda stone ginger beer, which comes in cans. They carry it at my liquor store in Cambridge and we drank it a lot with the rum in St. John's

Natural Brew Outrageous gingerale ..just the right kick

@OTC617 - I couldn't agree with you more! Maine Root has the best Ginger Brew I have ever tasted! Is it too early for a D&S I wonder?

The only kind I can get here after looking hard is Goya’s. It is pretty gingery, and I will cough if not careful. Sometimes a whiff is enough to make me sneeze. If it were a bit less sweet, I think I wouldn’t mind either.

In Kenya they have a soda called "Stoney Tangawizi" which is very spicy and floral... I wish I could get it here!

Bundaberg is definitely our go-to. Dark, cloudy, just the right amount of spicy.

This might only be available in the Midwest, but Sprecher Ginger Beer, and all of their other sodas, is very clean, strong, and gingery- give it a try!

@pav - I've had that stuff and it's...weird. LOL

I CALL BULLSHIT! Y'all left out a great ginger ale, Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale "Southern Spice When Ordinary Won't Do"

It'll make your lips numb (in a good way), and gives a good burn from all the ginger with a nice dark color and just a sweet little hit at the end. It goes great in floats and as a mixer with your favorite adult spirit. It can be shipped anywhere in the country by the case or by the pallet load. But of course you soda snobs would probably look down your noses at it, as it only comes in cans... But it's by far the best Ginger Ale I've ever had. Y'all should order a case then redo this obviously flawed taste test!

We can get Vernor's at Publix's in Alabama (meh), but it's a completely different animal than Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale

Love the picture too! The difference between Ginger Ale & Ginger Beer? Typically Ginger Ale has 1/2 the Ginger & twice the sugar of Ginger Beer - and is made by infusion; whereas "real" ginger beer is brewed & fermented (as befits the descriptor) and contains a trace alcohol- and the best have Ginger as the No1 ingredient. Fentiman's any day

The taste test is definitely incomplete without Maine Root Ginger Brew, powerful but incredibly delicious, if you're into ginger. Regatta's not bad, so long as you stick with the non-diet version. "Medicinal" is too charitable to Fentiman's.
