Tasting Notes
Technical Details
Vintage Description

Reed’s Original Ginger Beer pours a light golden hue with lively effervescence and a bold, spicy ginger aroma that instantly signals its craft character. On the palate, fresh ginger takes center stage — offering an assertive, warming heat balanced by natural sweetness from cane sugar and honey and bright citrus notes of lemon and lime. Beneath the spice, nuances of pineapple juice add a tropical brightness that complements the root’s earthy depth, giving the beverage a layered fruit-spice complexity. The mouthfeel is crisp and effervescent, making it highly refreshing while still delivering substantial ginger bite. The finish lingers with a warming ginger spice and clean citrus zest that invites another sip, whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a mixed drink. Overall, this original ginger beer strikes a delicious balance between fiery ginger intensity and natural sweetness.

The Estate

Reed’s Inc. is a U.S. beverage company known for pioneering craft ginger beer using real ginger and an authentic Jamaican-inspired recipe. Their Original Ginger Beer expression remains a flagship product, celebrated for bold flavor and natural ingredients without artificial additives.

Production Process

Reed’s Original Ginger Beer is crafted in small batches in the United States using a traditional recipe that emphasizes real, pressed organic ginger root sourced sustainably from the Peruvian Amazon. The beverage blends fresh ginger with sparkling filtered water, cane sugar, citrus juices, pineapple concentrate, and a proprietary spice blend, then naturally carbonates to achieve lively effervescence. No artificial flavors or preservatives are used, giving the beer a clean, bold ginger profile with natural sweet-spice balance.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well-chilled over ice to bring out its bright citrus and ginger character. It’s excellent on its own as a refreshing non-alcoholic drink, or use it as a mixer in mocktails and cocktails such as a Virgin Mule, a Dark ’n’ Stormy-style drink with extra spice, or paired with rye or bourbon for a flavorful highball. The bold ginger and citrus profile also pairs nicely with spicy foods, grilled seafood, and tangy sauces.
