I really only got this for nostalgia-factor! Canada Dry – all the way!
Yes…this smells and tastes like Ginger – the verdicts is still out on the “Ale” part tho…
BUT…it also has an aroma to it that resembles a “just vacuumed” type smell.
As it cools – the ginger taste grows even stronger. If I hold my breath, stand on one foot, and quack like a duck while crossing my eyes – perhaps I can get a little bit of that “ale” of the Ginger Ale type taste to it.
I won’t fault it for not being perfect – I can only image how hard the texture and flavor-pop “ale” would be to re-create…especially in a matcha!
Overall…this is darn good. Even with my goofy description. I’m pleased with this – it sure is an eye opener!

This image is now burned on my brain. I will forever imagine you reviewing every tea in this manner. :D
Rachel…I would say it’s more of a Ginger Ale went flat taste…not carbonated-esque…hope that helps :)
I ended up getting it and I have to echo your sentiments. Definitely ginger, but not ale, and a tad disappointing :(

How about steeping it in minimal water, then mixing it with some sparkling water? :D
I’m so torn on this flavor. I WANT to get it, but I worry it won’t be as awesome as Cola.
LOL @ nik :) teehee
Neat suggestion Terri Harplady!

I might lower the rating a bit if I can’t ‘make it a bit better’
