oogave – Ginger Ale
Time to pop open another oogave – this time it’s their Ginger Ale. I take a whiff and am punched in the nose by a fresh ginger scent. It smells real, not like some kind of ginger flavoring or powder. It’s intense… I wonder how much will come through in the flavor?
Answer: a whole lot! This is definitely on the intense side of the ginger-ale spice scale. It has a honey-sweet (agave-sweet, actually) flavor that works well with the ginger extract. Despite the sweetness, this flavor clocks in at only 24 grams of sugar per bottle. Impressive. It does have a slight astringency on the back end, but some of that can be ascribed to the ginger extract.
After nursing half of the bottle, I’ve decided that I’m a fan. I like the bold ginger flavoring – it’s completely different from the “Dry” ginger ales that flood the popular market. And yet it’s not so spicy that it’s overwhelming – it’s very sippable. This could be a great palate-cleanser, or an accompaniment to a spicy meal. It’s refreshing.
Rating: 4.0 out of 5. A spicy, agave-sweetened ginger ale that’s low on sugar yet high in flavor.
