Ginger Ales and Beers

After colas, we tasted ginger ales/beers. Man, there is a Strahanesque gap in gingery-ness in the ginger ales out there.
Jackson Hole Ginger Beer: This one tasted like it was made with dried powdered ginger instead of fresh. That made it unpleasantly bitter.

Cock 'n Bull Ginger Beer: Just the right amount of ginger and tang. The Moscow Mule was invented to save this soda and the Sunset Strip bar it was named after.

Empire Ginger Ale: Lots of flavors going on here, with prominent citrus peel and woody flavors. Just not enough ginger.

Blenheim Ginger Ale: Good lord, this stuff is hot. Really hot.Reed's Natural Jamaican Style Ginger Beer: Lots of honey flavor to counteract the big ginger kick. Could use a touch more acidity.

Capt'n Eli's Ginger Beer: All the Eli's sodas taste fresh and natural. But who lets a little kid row on choppy waters chaperoned only by a parrot?

Ginseng Ginger Ale: More ginseng for me, and it actually makes a nice bitter undertone for the ginger and citrus here.

Regatta Ginger Beer: This one has good, balanced flavors, but they might have a bit more pop if Regatta used cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
