Overall we seemed to gravitate more toward the sweeter ginger ales than the sharper ones. A few entries left our tasting party divided, but most had pretty consistent scores across the board. Every taster scored each soda on a scale of 1 to These numbers were then averaged for the final scores. This ginger ale was invented by Detroit pharmacist James Vernor in as a duplicate of the ones imported from Dublin, and it's a killer example of the style.
The Vernor's recipe has changed over the years, with high-fructose corn syrup replacing the original cane sugar, and it's now aged for three not four years in oak barrels. Despite the alterations, we haven't tasted a better ginger ale. It boasts strong vanilla and caramel notes on top of the mellow ginger flavors, a good sweetness, and fizzy carbonation.
Nearly everyone in the tasting group said it reminded them of cream soda, but with a ginger warmth. Vernor's is most popular in the Midwest and Florida, but if you're dying to try it and can't find it where you live, we suggest ordering it from Galco.
It's a shame that Americana isn't as easy to find nationwide as some of the better-known brands, because they consistently put out some of the best soda in the country. Their ginger ale is no exception, winning us over with its assertive sweetness and hints of citrus under the ginger thanks to the addition of some lime extracts. Those lime aspects had some of our tasters likening this soda to 7-Up.
Others called it "straight-up yummy" and said it "sticks in the back of your throat—in a good way. Thomas Kemper had two horses in this race, and while both finished well, the brand's newer "Purely Natural" incarnation of its ginger ale announced itself as the superior soda.
The first thing that hits you is the aroma: It's fragrant and full of ginger and cloves, priming your senses for the first sip. It's one of the sweetest ginger ales in the lineup, which a couple tasters found a bit overpowering, but the rest loved. As with all Thomas Kemper sodas, there's a kiss of honey hiding under the most prominent flavors, giving every swallow a pleasant finish. What ginger ale fan hasn't had Canada Dry? The ubiquitous supermarket beverage has been around since , and three years later it was appointed to the Royal Household of the Governor General of Canada.
Its inventor, John J. McLaughlin, gave it the "Dry" distinction because, at the time, it was much less sugary than other ginger ales available. It's still not as sweet as many other ginger ales today, and it's supremely balanced. Light and dry, it gives off overtones of lemon-lime, almost like a Sprite or 7-Up. The ginger notes are somewhat muted, so if you're drinking ginger ale for the ginger experience, you should probably go with a different brand.
For those who are just looking for an easy-drinking ginger ale, look no further or, rather, look one position down on this list. With nearly identical scores and a similar flavor profile, it's tough to distinguish the Seagram's ginger ale from its closest competitor, Canada Dry. Though they're probably better known for their booze, Seagram's makes a very mild, inoffensive ginger ale that's hard to dislike, even if the ginger aspect is minor.
Like Canada Dry, this is a good mixer ginger ale. Expect strong citrus notes, mild sweetness, and no ginger heat whatsoever. You might think Thomas Kemper's regular ginger ale and its Purely Natural version would taste just like each other, but this taste test proved otherwise. So what's the difference?
