Reed's Original Ginger Brew

The first drawback to Reed's Jamaican-Style Ginger Ale is the difficult-to-remove cap; the second is the overwhelming ginger taste. It immediately offends the tongue before stinking up the back of the mouth with the decidedly un-delightful impression of urine and root beer barrels.

Letting it mellow for a bit after opening it reduces some of the kick, but this drink is for beverage pedants only. "Too strong for my bones," as Grandpa used to say when he was battling crippling arthritis and/or the DT's.
