Review- Often I've thought to myself, I want to drink alcoholic ginger beer tonight but I also want to drink beer, but which one's better....? Well they no longer need to fight, I've found Blandford Flyer!
Although the beer lacks a certain depth and doesn't linger long on the palate, the marrying of ginger beer flavours together with "normal" beer flavours provides a satisfying, pleasant drink that is delicious on its own. In my opinion it could be improved with a slightly bigger kick of ginger but I'm happy to accept that may not suit the mass market palate.
The beer would work well with a winter stew or even a dessert (apple pie or treacle tart maybe) because of the sweet ginger undertone.
Score- 8/10 delicious but could do with a bigger ginger kick.
