Advantages: refreshing taste, new (sort of..)

Disadvantages: price

I first of all have to start this review off with a bit of a confession.... I don't like Ginger beer.

However, Crabbie's has definitely turned me into a bit of a ginger addict, the taste is very strong, but at the same time very refreshing.


The Good Points:

Refreshing - I could see myself relaxing in the summer outside with a nice Crabbie's, enjoying a bit of the lovely British weather.

Quirky - A bit different from buying your standard pint of ale, but not too quirky that you get funny looks at the bar.

Strong Flavour - Some may see this as a downside, but the ginger is strong, and really hits you in the back of your throat, a nice supplement to a light dinner I would say.


The not so good points:

Price - For me the price is a big issues being a lowly student £2 (which is the cheapest I could find in my local supermarket) is a lot of money for one drink.

Strong Flavour - I have put this in here for those who prefer a smoother beverage, in which case perhaps stick with a Guinness.


All in all I think Crabbie's is a very nice beverage, perfect for chilling after a long day at work, or even relaxing in the summer sun. To anyone who hasn't tried it, I would say go to the shops right now, and perhaps you to will become a ginger addict!

Summary: Nice drink, have to knock a star off for price though
