Summary
Jameson's Ginger Ale provides a mediocre experience due to its lacklustre fizz and ginger flavor.
Ginger Ale is a carbonated beverage with a prominent and fresh zing of ginger. You can enjoy this as is or paired with a spirit of choice.
Many ready-to-drink ginger ales available today are overly sweet, often overshadowing the distinctive flavor of the main ingredient – ginger. Having evaluated various ginger ales previously, we selected Jameson’s Ginger Ale in a can for our latest review.

Our Review Factors
Our key focus? A fresh and natural tasting Ginger Ale with a balanced sweetness and a crisp fizz.
The following review factors were considered during the review:
1. Flavor
We were looking at two major aspects:
- The fresh zing of ginger: The flavor of ginger can get overwhelming too quickly and striking the balance is key in any carbonated beverage.
- Balance of sweetness
2. Fizz
The term “fizz” describes the effervescence or bubbling that results from the gaseous emission of carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages. It is responsible for the fizzy or bubbly mouthfeel of sodas and other carbonated drinks.
